The Georgia Bulldogs and the Texas Longhorns will clash for an SEC showdown on Saturday night. This contest is expected to be one of the season's best games. Both Georgia and Texas are championship-caliber teams.
Georgia began the season ranked first in the nation. The Bulldogs began the season with a statement blowout win over Clemson.
Kirby Smart has led this Bulldogs program to two championships over the last three years. With a win today, the Bulldogs will re-insert themselves back into the Championship conversation. A loss, however, will make things complicated for Georgia to reach the playoffs.
The Bulldogs dropped a thriller on the road against Alabama earlier in the year. Georgia has bounced back nicely from the loss with wins over Auburn and Mississippi State.
