ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs’ coming-out party as the No. 1 team in the College Football Playoff selection committee ratings, a 24-10 win over South Carolina on Saturday, was like an actual bulldog: a bit bumpy, not without wrinkles, but ultimately something you would be glad to take home.
Georgia, which is ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press poll, improved to 9-0 over all, 6-0 in the Southeastern Conference, while the Gamecocks dropped to 6-3, 4-3.
The Bulldogs clinched the SEC East title and a spot in the conference championship game when Kentucky lost later on Saturday.
