The SEC East is up for grabs if the Georgia Bulldogs do not play up to the level they are playing at right now. Georgia defeated Mississippi State last week, handily, in a huge 28-point victory at Sanford Stadium.

Tennessee and Florida are responsible for competing with the Dawgs at the top of the SEC East. Yet, the Gators got the best of the Vols in the first of a few big games that will decide the division this year.

If Tennessee’s fortunes had been a little bit better against Florida in Week 3, they would still be undefeated. However, Florida’s freshman quarterback Feleipe Franks chucked a Hail’mary that wound up being the game-winning touchdown for the Gators.

A cause for concern was the close win over UMass in Week 4. The Minutemen are not a quality opponent for the Vols, and they sported quite a bit of a hangover from the Florida game at Neyland Stadium over the weekend.
