Sunday morning the Bulldog Nation woke up believing they could actually win the SEC East. Thanks to a little help from Kentucky and Mississippi State, Georgia is tied for second in their division. A few weeks ago, everyone had written Georgia off. Now there is a chance for them to go to the Georgia Dome representing the East, however a couple things will need to happen in their favor. First, they must win out. Not an easy task. Second, they’ll need South Carolina to lose two more SEC games. Possible, yes. Realistic, no. Winning on the road in Lexington won’t be easy. The Wildcats just hung 31 on the Gamecocks. Georgia couldn’t even score a touchdown against South Carolina. Not to mention the Bulldogs have lost all three road games this year. Then there’s attempting to win in Jacksonville, something Georgia has struggled with the past 20 years. The Bulldogs have beaten the Gators three times in the past two decades. They have to go to Jacksonville and try to beat a Gator team fresh off a bye. And if you believe Georgia has any chance against a Gator squad that just lost three in a row, had a week off to cope and prepare for the game they love to win the most, you are blind. Georgia has a chance to win the SEC East. There is no denying that. But they won’t seize their opportunity because they are not a better football team than Florida or Auburn. Winning out is too hard of a goal for the Bulldogs to accomplish.
