Georgia Update

It’s a rivalry again. Georgia played uncharacteristically poorly for the majority of the game, leading to their first loss of the season 27-24 against unranked Auburn.

The loss saw the Dawgs slip from #1 to #5 in the AP Poll. They’ll have two weeks to address the poor play ahead of the Cocktail Party against #20 Florida.

Newcomers

#20 Florida, #25 Arizona

Dropped Out

#16 Mississippi State, #18 Oklahoma State

Ranked Matchups

#7 Ole Miss at #19 Texas

#14 Houston at #10 Utah

Upset Alert

Texas is a three and a half point favorite at home against Ole Miss? The last time I took Ole Miss as a surprising road dog, the Florida Gators routed them. Ya know what? I’m gonna do it again. Give me the Rebels to win outright in Austin.
