Georgia Overview
The Dawgs made it eight straight wins at Bobby Dodd, beating Georgia Tech 38-7 to finish the regular season 11-1.
They now go back to Atlanta for the second straight week to play Auburn in the SEC Championship and seek revenge for their only blemish on the year.
Movers
Fell Out: #25 Boise State
Newcomers: #25 Fresno State
Overrated
#21 Washington State
The Cougars didn’t put up a fight in the Apple Cup, getting blown out 41-14. I’m surprised they are still as high as #21, although the teams behind them don’t have a strong argument to being ranked higher either.
Underrated
#12 UCF
UCF finished the regular season undefeated, and if the BCS were still around, would be ranked higher, as the computers used for the old rankings seemingly love the Golden Knights.
This Week’s Top 25 Matchups
#14 Stanford vs. #11 USC
#16 Memphis at #12 UCF
#10 TCU vs. #2 Oklahoma
#6 Georgia vs. #4 Auburn
#7 Miami vs. #1 Clemson
#8 Ohio State vs. #3 Wisconsin
Upset Alert
Last week, I incorrectly predicted a Washington State victory in the Apple Cup
On Championship Weekend, I’m taking Stanford to win the Pac-12 over USC.
