Power ranking the SEC after week 7: #2 - Georgia
The Bulldogs have still not quite been as impressive as most hoped so far this year. They have won convincingly in several games—that Clemson win just keeps looking better and better, in particular—but games like this previous Saturday against Mississippi State have been a thorn in their side.
Yes, if you look at total yardage, it was a convincing win. But this is the type of game that was a wholesale destruction under previous championship squads under Kirby Smart.
We can write it off a little bit as a lookahead spot for the Bulldogs, who will be traveling to Austin this Saturday. But the alarm bells are still there for UGA. If they don’t win on Saturday, 9-3 is a real possibility in Athens.
That might still be enough to get them in the playoff, but it won’t make many Bulldog fans happy.
