Georgia underwhelms in week three

The Alabama Gazette panel correctly picked that Georgia would defeat Kentucky; but most of us thought that Georgia would win it by four touchdowns. The hard fought defensive contest that they actually played in the third week of the SEC season was entirely unanticipated by most of the staff. The staff was divided on the LSU versus South Carolina game and we were correct in that game could have gone either way. Most of the panel failed to predict Toledo's dominance over Mississippi State.

More Southeastern Conference Teams are beginning conference play including Auburn – who made a quarterback change in week three – replacing Senior QB Payton Thorne with Freshman Hank Brown appears to have worked well for the Tigers.
