The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry is the annual matchup between Georgia Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers. The first year of the Kirby Smart era in Athens wasn’t exactly what fans were expecting. While their 8-5 record was decent, they weren’t anywhere close to the SEC East title. But the game against Auburn provided the positive mojo that Smart and the Georgia football program needed.
Both defenses played great in this game, but Georgia was on another level in the second half, and that leads us to no. 32 on the Southbound and Down College Football Countdown.
