Georgia Football: Ranking Bulldogs’ 2020 opponents by toughness
Pick Analysis. 10. 880. Scouting Report. Nov. 28. Athens (Ga.). Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. player
Georgia will have their annual rivalry game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on the last weekend of the season, as is tradition, and these are two programs that are in two drastically different places as it currently stands. The Bulldogs have won the last three games in this series, and have won every one of those games by at least 24 points.
Georgia Tech is heading in the right direction under Geoff Collins and the Yellow Jackets are holding their own out there on the recruiting trail as they try to raise the talent level that was just not up to par under Paul Johnson because of the option system that was in place.
It will be interesting to see where Collins has this team by the end of the season and if any progress is being made on the field, but expect the Bulldogs to cruise in this one.
Athens (Ga.). 9. player. 887. Pick Analysis. Oct. 3. Scouting Report. Vanderbilt Commodores
The first SEC East opponent for the Dawgs in 2020, Vanderbilt is often the weakest team in the East and do not expect that to change in 2020.
The Commodores are coming off a very disappointing 3-9 campaign and many expected that result to cost head coach Derek Mason his job. He’s back to lead Vanderbilt in 2020 and they will be looking to get back to bowl game, but that will be a huge challenge.
Georgia has not lost to Vanderbilt since Kirby Smart’s debut season in Athens in 2016 and 2020 is not the year for Vandy to be pulling the upset. Georgia owns every conceivable advantage in this matchup and I expect the Dawgs to cruise in this one.
