The Georgia Bulldogs have a chance to go the their 3rd straight SEC Championship game with a win over Auburn this Saturday.
They have already proven that they control their own destiny, winning three straight SEC East games following an overtime loss to South Carolina.
Many counted Georgia out, saying its season was over with that loss, but the Dawgs kept barking and scrapped their way back into the top 4 and in perfect position to make a trip to the SEC Championship, likely against LSU.
But first, Georgia’s focus is on Auburn. A win, and the Dawgs not only secure a trip back to Atlanta, but can start thinking College Football Playoff – though Kirby Smart would never admit that.
This Saturday in Auburn is going to be a bloodbath, as these are two of the most physically dominant teams in college football.
