Georgia is back on track. But for the last three and a half games, this has been the best team in the country. Alabama played a great half.
It is back to work after two weeks off after beating Texas by 15 points in Austin. Next up are Ole Miss and Tennessee.
Everyone made fun of Florida after they lost to Tennessee, Miami, and Texas A&M, but it turns out that those three teams are really good.
Still, fighting just to get into a bowl game is not good enough for a program that should be one of the best in college football.
Florida has to play at Texas, LSU, Ole Miss, and Florida State in the next few weeks. They can not take a break.

Why Florida Will Win
Right away, the running game needs to take over.
Georgia can get ahead quickly, and the Gators will not be able to keep up with their passing attack. However, the deep shots are there, even with Graham Mertz out with an injury and DJ Lagway in.
To stay alive is important. Keep passing the ball well and keep this game close until the end. Then, hope the defense steps up.
When they attack and make big plays, Florida’s defense is better. Early on, the team did not have many turnovers, but they have kept their turnover edge for the last four games and have had five in the last two.
But once more, it comes down to how well the Florida running game can set the pace. That is not good because…
Why Georgia Will Win
Once again, Georgia’s run defense is great.
Some of its problems showed in the close games against Kentucky and Alabama. But in the suffocating win over Texas, it stepped it up a notch.
The Bulldogs are not a spectacular team, but when they turn it on, they are unbeatable. To start the season, it did that against Clemson.
It did that in the second half against Alabama and the whole game against Texas. It is almost like this team needs to be pushed before they can play their best.
On third downs, Florida is not very good on either side of the ball, and it does not do much to keep the clock running. Georgia can be very organized, and
Florida vs Georgia: Who Will Win
I hope this is good.
Nine of the last ten games between Florida and Georgia have been blown out by more than ten points, with Georgia winning the last three. This time, though, things are a little different. There is a little more juice.
Even though this Bulldog team is great, it does not have the offensive tools that other teams in the national title mix have. The offense does not run the ball well enough or throw the ball consistently, but the defense will handle this.
Plus, Carson Beck will always be good enough on third downs to keep things going.
