Coaches Poll Top 25 rankings Week 11: Bulldogs still the top-ranked SEC team after win over Florida
It wasn’t always pretty on Saturday, but Georgia did enough to come away with a 34-20 win over the rival Florida Gators.

Dawgs get benefit of the doubt, hoping they get it together. GATA!!!

Nah. The only team with an argument for #2 is Ohio State. The problem for the Buckeyes is that their best game this year came in a loss. Their wins, including the referee-assisted one against perpetual fraud Penn State on Saturday, haven't been nearly as impressive. Everyone else has a bad loss (Tennessee, Notre Dame) or an easy schedule (Miami, Indiana, BYU, Notre Dame) or their best win isn't as good as by 2 scores in Austin (every undefeated or 1 loss team but Oregon).
Need to play much better next week in Oxford. This team is extremely hard to figure out. Looked very average to below average against a Florida tea with a third string QB and numerous starters out. Actually plum scary. The inconsistency is puzzling. Are we good? Are we bad? Who knows?
Not hard to figure out @JBMDawg46. UGA's pass catchers are below average. Opposing teams know this and are attacking it. The solution is for Kirby to admit this and rely on the running game more. That exposes another problem: the RBs are merely good and not great, there are no FBs and the TEs are all "receiving TEs" - 6'4" and under 245 lbs - so they aren't much help run blocking, especially at the line of scrimmage. So yes it will mean 3 and outs and 6 and outs, but it is UGA's best chance to win as it is preferable to Beck's interceptions.
On defense, UGA's version of the 3-4 is designed to defend traditional pro-style and west coast offenses: dropback passers and between the tackles running game. It is always going to be vulnerable to a good dual threat QB who can both sidestep the interior pass rush and evade the blitzers in the passing game plus lead the spread option running game. It is why even UGA's historic 2021 defense was shredded by Bryce Young when he had healthy WRs. All you can do there is hope for more QBs that UGA's defense matches up well against - like Texas - in the playoff.
