I’ll be honest, I had expected to have Georgia further up this list. Tennessee had other plans than allowing Georgia to move up the power rankings, and win their game I guess.

Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason grew up before our eyes and seemingly had won the game with his touchdown pass with less than a minute left in the game. Then Tennessee quarterback, Josh Dobbs launched a hail mary that was caught by Jajuan Jennings and the Volunteers won. If only Georgia’s secondary knew to bat the ball down. Despite the loss, Bulldog fans should feel good about their team as they made a massive turnaround from their performance against Ole Miss. Georgia is still a good team and will continue to get better.

Next game: October 8, at South Carolina, 7:30pm ET SEC Network
