7. Georgia

Last Week rank: 2

Week 2 result: (2-0) 26-24 Win against Nicholls State

Want to fall down in the power rankings really quickly? Play how Georgia played against Nicholls State. The only way it could be worse would have been for the Bulldogs to lose.

Georgia looked incredible in week one. That quickly reversed course in week two as the Bulldogs struggled against Nicholls State and squeaked out a win in the end. Jacob Eason showed that he is indeed a freshman. But the biggest worry was that the ground game really failed to get anything going. Nick Chubb only had 80 yards rushing against a type of team he would normally run over and through. Georgia, as a team, seems to still have a long way to go.

Georgia will need to find its offense as they face a strong Missouri defense in week 3, with both teams seeking their first conference victory of the season.

Next Game: Saturday, September 17, at Missouri 7:30 ET SEC Network

Next: 6. Tennessee
