Georgia leads 64-56-8

COMMENTS

Auburn has the bad luck of having to visit Athens after one of the most disappointing losses on Bulldog history. On the flip side, this could be a trap game for UGA if the Bulldogs show up demoralized and unfocused. I think most likely Georgia wins this game but it could be close.
