With Georgia now ranked as the No. 4 team in the country after the most recent College Football Playoff rankings, the stakes will be even higher when the team travels to No. 12 Auburn on Saturday. Georgia has won 11 of the last 15 matchups vs. Auburn, including a 27-10 victory last season.

Georgia has shown this season that it can win in a hostile road environment. The Bulldogs beat No. 11 Florida, 24-17, on Nov. 2. While Georgia’s passing attack with Jake Fromm is consistent, it’s nothing too flashy. That’s not the case with the run game and D’Andre Swift. He has always been dynamic against Auburn. In the 2018 matchup, Swift went off for 186 yards, including a 77-yard scamper to put the Bulldogs on top 27-10.
Georgia got an overwhelming 27-0 win over Missouri last weekend. It marked the defense’s third shutout of the season. The defense leads the SEC and ranks in the Top 10 in the nation in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and defensive pass efficiency. The Bulldogs are also No. 1 in the nation in red zone defense and have allowed just eight offensive touchdowns in nine games.
Don’t count Auburn out just yet. The team is coming off of a bye week, meaning it’s had extra time to prepare for Georgia. The Auburn offense is relying on freshman quarterback Bo Nix to come through against Georgia. He may be young, but Nix has played top-ranked teams such as Florida and LSU on the road this season. This time, he’ll have the benefit of playing at home. In Auburn’s 20-14 win over Ole Miss, Nix looked quite comfortable and threw for 340 yards to nine different receivers.
