By Bo Wilson Sports Editor

Georgia will add Arkansas and Mississippi State to the 2020 conference-only schedule.

The changes were announced Friday evening on the SEC Network. The Razorbacks and Maroon Bulldogs originally were Georgia's 2021 and 2022 SEC West rotational opponents. 

The SEC announced last week it would be shifting to a 10-game conference-only schedule, which left two openings on Georgia's schedule. Dates and times were not announced on Friday. The season is set to kick off on Sept. 26.

Georgia’s original schedule already included home games with Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Auburn along with road games at Alabama, South Carolina, Missouri, and Kentucky.  The annual neutral site game with Florida in Jacksonville is also on the schedule.

The Bulldogs beat the Razorbacks in Little Rock, 45-32, in 2014 -- their last meeting. Arkansas's last win in the series was in 2010 in Athens, 31-24. Georgia defeated Arkansas, 52-41, in the ‘Dogs last visit to Fayetteville in 2009. Georgia has won seven of the last eight meetings between the two teams and leads the series 10-4-0.

Georgia and Mississippi State last met in Athens in 2017 with the Bulldogs winning 31-3.  Georgia lost in Starkville, 24-12, in 2010. Georgia has won 11 of the last 12 meetings in the series and leads the overall series 17-6.

Below are the 2020 opponents:
