It’s as tall of a task as there is in college football. The Georgia Bulldogs are back-to-back defending national champions and ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll. Their last regular season loss transpired the first week of November 2020, and despite churning out an assembly of NFL Draft picks in the last three drafts, the Bulldogs haven’t seen any drop-off.
Ball State will be the longshot challenger, making a trek to SEC country for the second consecutive week. Although the Cardinals held a 7-3 lead at the end of the first quarter against Kentucky, the Wildcats responded with 20 second quarter points and kept the foot on the gas thereafter in a 44-14 thrashing.
