College GameDay announces conference championship location

College GameDay announces its conference championship location.

College GameDay has announced its location for conference championship weekend.

ESPN’s flagship college football preview show will be headed to Atlanta for the biggest game of the season between Georgia and LSU.

Assuming the Playoff Committee does not do anything crazy, it will be No. 2 vs No. 4 and a play-in game for the Georgia Bulldogs.

This will be the first time these two teams have met in the SEC Championship since they played in 2011.

Georgia lost the game 42-10 and was completely overwhelmed in the second half by the Tigers secondary that included Morris Claiborne and Tyrann Mathieu. If you remember, though, Georgia actually dominated the first half and should have went into halftime with a two touchdown lead. The Dawgs dropped an easy touchdown pass and the Honey Badger returned a punt for a touchdown that he actually dropped before crossing the goal line.

Georgia and LSU met most recently in 2018, when the Dawgs travelled to Baton Rouge and got completely demolished by the Tigers in a hostile environment.

This time, nobody is giving Georgia a chance. However, if we can control the clock by running on LSU’s average defense and keep Joe Burrow and the offense off the field, I like our chances.

 

USA TODAY releases SEC power rankings – where’s Georgia football?

USA TODAY has releases their weekly SEC power rankings ahead of week 13. See where Georgia football ranks among the rest of the SEC.

The buzz around college football has been that after the South Carolina loss, Georgia controls its own destiny… and control it they have.

The Dawgs remain at No. 4 in the rankings following a 21-14 win over Auburn, and secured a ticket to the SEC Championship game.

USA TODAY’s SEC power rankings have Georgia at the No. 2 spot, dropping Alabama to No. 3 and LSU taking the No. 1 spot.

On Georgia, Horka said:

“It surely wasn’t an offensive exhibition from the Bulldogs in their big win over Auburn, but a win is a win regardless. It’s looks likely that Georgia will meet LSU in the SEC Championship game, but it doesn’t look like the Dawgs will be able to go blow for blow with Burrow and company.”

Here is his top-six in the SEC:

  1. LSU (10-0, 6-0 SEC)
  2. Georgia (9-1, 6-1 SEC)
  3. Alabama (9-1, 6-1 SEC)
  4. Florida (9-2, 6-2 SEC)
  5. Auburn (7-3, 4-3 SEC)
  6. Texas A&M (7-3, 4-2 SEC)

Georgia has one more SEC opponent in its way before the SEC Championship.

Texas A&M seems like it should be a Georgia win this Saturday at 3:30 p.m., but the Dawgs need to make sure they don’t play down to the Aggies’ level.

This game has trap game written all over it and if we’ve learned anything this year, it’s don’t take any team lightly.
