Georgia travels to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama in arguably the most important game on the week 6 schedule. The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide sit atop a very uncharacteristic SEC standings. Both teams are undefeated on the season. The loser of this game could fall as many as 4-5 spots in the standings.
The winner of this game takes control of the SEC. If Oklahoma can upset Texas in the Red River Shootout, it would leave only one undefeated team in the conference. That being the winner of Georgia vs Alabama. Ole Miss, LSU and Tennessee all have an early loss. Auburn, Texas A&M and Oklahoma already have losses and occupy the bottom half of the standings.
The Georgia Bulldogs have not won in Tuscaloosa in almost 20 years (2007). Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs have handled business early. Maximizing massive wins over their first five opponents on the 97th rated strength of schedule. Georgia is averaging over 50 points per game on that stretch that include Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. Both the Georgia passing and running numbers rank among the top 10.
Alabama’s story in the early going is somewhat similar. Alabama is average just a shade under 50 points per game (49.6) and have also handled business early. Including convincing wins over Florida State and No. 16 Mississippi State. Alabama also enters this game with a top 10 rushing attack, even though their offensive line that has look less than elite.
There are big questions that could be answered by the end of this game. Is Georgia’s national ranking clouded by a very soft schedule? Who is the clear No. 1 in the conference. How did the weather effect each team’s gameplan?
*Scheduling note: Hurricane Isaias could impact this game as the Category 3 hurricane made landfall in the Gulf Friday night.
