5. Jordan-Hare Stadium
Auburn has played three big games this season; Oregon, Florida, and LSU.
In those games, it is 1-2. However, none of those games were at home.
Now, Auburn finally gets its big one on the Plains. Actually, two big ones…Alabama comes to town in the final week of the season, too.
If you’ve never been to Jordan-Hare, I suggest you check it out. Sure, we hate Auburn, but we can respect a great environment and wild fanbase.
Auburn, though it’s lost two games this season, still has somewhat of an outside shot at making the playoff if it can beat Georgia and Alabama and hope for a few losses from other top programs along the way. It’s unlikely, but all hope is not lost. With that being said, this place is going to be rocking.
Additionally, Auburn sort of controls the outcome of the 2019 college football season.
If Georgia wants to make the playoff, it needs to beat Auburn.
If Alabama wants to make the playoff, it needs to beat Auburn.
If Oregon wants to make the playoff, it would love some help from Auburn, who beat the Ducks early in the season. Auburn beating both Georgia and Bama would make Oregon’s loss a lot more forgivable in the eyes of the committee.
The atmosphere is going to be nuts. The sun will set and the place will only become more electric, making life even tougher on Fromm and the Georgia offensive line.
All in all, I’m projecting a 24-13 Georgia victory, but I could easily see this game going the way of the Barn, or even significantly in the Dawgs’ favor.
Georgia matches up very well with Auburn on paper, but the Tigers will certainly make things as difficult as possible with Jordan-Hare Stadium bumping music through the loudspeakers of that space-aged scoreboard.
