The Georgia Bulldogs have returned to the No. 1 spot and host the Vanderbilt Commodores this weekend in Athens with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Vandy gave Ole Miss a scare in the first half last week but dropped to 3-3 after the Rebels put up 35 points in the second half. Georgia’s biggest scare this season was Missouri, but they were easily able to handle Auburn last week and continue to dominate the SEC.
