ATHENS — Georgia lost to South Carolina the last time these teams had a noon kickoff, but there’s no reason to think these Bulldogs need a wake-up call.

Georgia regained the No. 1 ranking in the AP Top 25, leading the nation in scoring defense and ranked second in passing yardage per game.

The Bulldogs are no doubt one of the more popular talking points in the SEC, even after Alabama’s narrow win at Texas and Texas A&M’s shocking loss at the hands of Appalachian State.

Georgia is a heavy favorite to keep its momentum going even if it will require his players to arise earlier than normal on a Saturday morning.
