The Bulldogs today keep their hunt for a National Title birth alive by knocking off the Tennessee Volunteers. A win over the Vols, who beat Georgia last year, blocking them for the National Title will likely propel the Dawgs up in the rankings after a little more movement in the top 10. Next up, Georgia has to run the gauntlet against Vandy, LSU and then Florida, all in the top 25. If Georgia can successfully navigate this maelstrom then they should be sitting pretty moving into the last 3 games of their schedule, which includes Auburn, #20 in the nation. The Georgia schedule is noted as the hardest in the country and after suffering the first lost to Alabama earlier in the season the Bulldogs cannot loose another game this season to keep their title hopes alive.
While the title hopes for the Bulldogs are not in their own hands to decide, the SEC championship is. A sweep of the remaining teams on the UGA schedule would place the Bulldogs in the SEC title game, potentially getting the chance for a mulligan against the Alabama Crimson Tide, led by Nick Saban.
