Number 2. Georgia 

Week 1 result: (1-0) 33-24 Win against North Carolina

Guess who’s back? Yep, Nick Chubb is back and he is running over, through and by people. Just ask North Carolina who gave up 222 rushing yards and 2 TDs to Chubb.

Georgia looked like a good team against North Carolina. The offense was dynamic with Nick Chubb back and being backed up by Sony Michel. The defense of Georgia was good, even against a high scoring team such as the Tar Heels are.

Georgia will look to keep a sense of competing for the SEC East and will continue to show teams that Nick Chubb needs to be respected and is more than capable of leading his team to many great victories in 2016.

Next Game: Saturday, September 10, vs. Nicholls 12:00 SEC Network
