For No. 4 Georgia, it’s pretty simple. Win and you are in.

The Bulldogs face a tough challenge this Saturday against the No. 12 ranked Auburn Tigers, though.

This edition of The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry will be played in Auburn and will air on CBS.

Since 1892, the Dawgs and the Tigers have met 123 times, with 59-56-8.

With such a tough matchup ahead and so much on the line for Kirby Smart and his team, I wanted to hear from some former Dawgs who have played in the storied rivalry.

Swift going to shake and bake on a few folks and get a TD Hot rod going to kick 2 field goals and Fromm going to dump a deep one to Cager (if healthy) for a TD! My boy Tae & JR are going to ball along with the defense playing lights out & expect a INT (or 2), the Big boys upfront gotta eat this game for all of this to happen on the offensive side of the ball!

How Georgia and Auburn stack up: statistical breakdown

A look at how Georgia football and Auburn matchup statistically

[jwplayer ENZmluK3]

This Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs and Auburn Tigers will write another chapter in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry when they square off at 3:30 PM in Jordan Hare Stadium.

The Dawgs are coming off an expected trouncing of the Missouri Tigers, 27-0, while Auburn will be fresh off of a bye week.

This game figures to be won in the trenches, as the Dawgs have one of the nation’s best offensive lines and the Tigers have one of the elite defensive lines.

With this in mind, let’s take a look at how the teams stack up statistically.

College Football Playoff Rankings: Notre Dame, And the Three Other 7-2 Teams

No. 16 Notre Dame and three other college football teams in the College Football Playoff top-25 have seven wins and two losses.

With losses to Georgia and Michigan, the Notre Dame college football team is looking down the barrel in this year’s College Football Playoff.

Considering the circumstances that surrounded the countless departures on defense and then the injuries leading up to Week 1 of the 2019 season, sitting at No. 16 doesn’t happen often for Brian Kelly. The first time the Fighting Irish have occupied such real estate was back in 1952. Since then, only eleven times (excluding preseason polls) has the program experienced a college football’s poll bottom percentile. Because of this, Notre Dame is expected to play in the Camping World Bowl against a conference who has had twists and turns almost all season long, the Big 12.

The two losses may have hurt Notre Dame’s chances of being on the inside-looking-out, but it’s not the only 7-2 team in the College Football Playoff Top 25.

No. 15 Wisconsin

Running back Jonathan Taylor and kicker Collin Larsh both have been the backbone of Wisconsin’s offense. The Badgers two losses come at the expense of Illinois and Ohio State – the latter’s defense who kept Taylor to only 52 yards rushing and forced Wisconsin’s pass game with Jack Coan. For the most part, its defense itself has remained in tact, blanking four opponents. Over the past three games specifically, it has given up over 21 points per contest. Remaining on Paul Chryst’s schedule is Nebraska, Mizzou and the eighth-ranked, row-the-boat-coach Fleck Minnesota Gophers.

No. 14 Michigan

Prior to playing Notre Dame, Michigan didn’t have the same swag against Wisconsin and Penn State. Both away games, Michigan coughed up the ball four times against the Badgers and were held scoreless for almost two full quarters against the Nittany Lions. At this point, it’s really Ohio State’s conference, but Michigan has somewhat regained its footing and lies only a couple of spots ahead of Notre Dame. The Wolverines haven’t played a game since Nov. 2 and that couldn’t come a moment too soon. Going forward, there lies a surprisingly trippy home stretch ahead with Michigan State, Indiana and The Game to round off the season.

No. 12 Auburn

Of the three teams on this list, Auburn has the toughest end-of-season schedule against No. 4 Georgia and No. 5 Alabama, who recently forfeited its No. 1 spot to LSU. Most significantly to Gus Malzahn’s team this year was a season opener win against then-No. 11 Oregon, followed by an eight point win against Texas A&M. Losses to Florida and LSU within three weeks of each other was likely the red flag for the committee, though no one hardly ever understands their deliberations and final decisions. On Nov. 23, there is a rehearsal game for Auburn before the Iron Bowl. Quarterback Bo Nix has been up and down with incompletions and a lack of targets. It’s a team that’s much like the SEC version of Wisconsin – depend on the run and a defense that’s just as effective against the run as well.

This Saturday, No. 4 Georgia travels to Auburn to take on the No. 11 ranked Tigers in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

The Bulldogs are favored to win the game, but it will by no means be an easy task.

With the game being featured on the SEC on CBS, the whole country will be watching as Georgia fights to keep its season alive.

We think the Dawgs have what it takes to return to Athens with a win and clinch a spot in its third straight SEC Championship.

Here’s why:

The ESPN FPI predicts Georgia football’s final three games of the season, including this weekend’s UGA vs Auburn game.

[jwplayer Cn4kXaGN]

ESPN’s FPI has Georgia favored in two of its next next three matchups.

Where the program sees Georgia losing is this weekend to Auburn, where it gives the Bulldogs a 47.4% chance of beating the Tigers on the road.

Coming off a 27-0 win over Missouri, Georgia’s chances of beating Auburn actually increased 2% from last week’s 45%, according to the FPI.

After this weekend, UGA’s final two games of the season, as predicted by the FPI, include a home game vs Texas A&M (Georgia has a 84.1% chance of winning) and on the road at Georgia Tech (Georgia has a 97.1% chance in that game).

In terms of strength of record, the FPI ranks Georgia No. 11, with two signature wins and an 8-1 record.

Additionally, the FPI gives Georgia a 17.7% chance of winning out, which is what it will need to if it wants to make the College Football Playoff.
