Georgia Overview
Georgia fell at home to Vanderbilt 17-16, marking the first time the Commodores have won a road game in the SEC under Derek Mason. It was also Vanderbilt’s first win in Athens since 2006, when Georgia had a true freshman quarterback named Matthew Stafford playing quarterback. Georgia struggled in almost every facet of the game and really needs to take a hard look at themselves before entering the final stretch of the season.
The Dawgs have a much needed bye this week.
Movers
Fell Out: #16 Miami, #17 Virginia Tech
Newcomers: #22 UNC, #25 LSU
Overrated
#12 West Virginia
The Mountaineers have gotten out to a great 5-0 start to the season, but they have yet to register a quality win in 2016. The back half of their schedule is much tougher, and we will quickly learn whether West Virginia is truly a contender for a Big 6 Bowl.
Underrated
#10 Wisconsin
The Badgers came oh so close to knocking off #2 Ohio State this past Saturday. Despite their 4-2 record, they have been ranked #10 by the voters, and I would like their chances versus more than a couple of the teams ranked ahead of them.

Upset Alert
Last week, Georgia Tech took care of business against Georgia Southern.
This week, I’m taking UCLA at home against #19 Utah.
