UL-Lafayette at Georgia (Saturday/12:00 pm)

The Ragin’ Cajuns have fallen off the map this season, unable to gain any momentum either in conference or out of conference. UL-Lafayette finds itself in danger of missing out on the postseason for the second straight year after a string of four straight Sun Belt titles and bowl appearances. On average their defense gives up one more point per game than their offense manages to put on the scoreboard.

They’ll be playing between the hedges in Athens against a Georgia team that is wearing its blackout uniforms for the first time since 2008. The Bulldogs have also struggled in 2016 in their first season under new head coach Kirby Smart, and there is no chance for UGA to win the SEC East after going .500 in conference play. They have one of the worst-producing offenses in the country, and if they struggle to score against ULL an upset could be in the making.
