Georgia Overview

The Dawgs fell to Alabama once again, losing in Tuscaloosa 41-24. Rather than rehashing things, let’s flip the page. We still have everything to play for this year, and we have a bye this week to fix some things before our next game against Kentucky on Halloween.

Movers

Fell Out: #15 Auburn, #18 Tennessee, #21 Louisiana

Newcomers: #22 Marshall, #23 North Carolina State, #25 Coastal Carolina

Overrated

#3 Notre Dame. Well, someone has to be ranked third, might as well be Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are undefeated, but their latest win – a 12-7 win against Louisville – didn’t inspire much confidence. Of course, the true measuring stick will come November 7^th against Clemson, but right now the Irish do not seem on the same level as the Tigers.

Underrated

#5 Ohio State. The Buckeyes were a preseason favorite to win it all, but a late start the Big Ten season has seen them fall since the preseason polls. The Big Ten finally starts this Saturday, and as much as I don’t like saying it, the Buckeyes are going to remind everyone how good they are.

Upset Alert

Last week, I went back-to-back with winners, correctly taking Arkansas and the points while seeing the Hogs win outright.

This week, I’m taking slight underdogs SMU to win at home against Cincinnati.
