Overview
- No. 5 Georgia hosts No. 10 Texas on Saturday night at Sanford Stadium in a game that could effectively end Texas’ College Football Playoff bid with a loss.
- Oddsmakers have Georgia favored by roughly 6 to 6.5 points, and most national predictions back the Bulldogs at home.
- Georgia lost starting nose tackle Jordan Hall for the season, while Texas’ offense is trending healthier after a bye, with wide receiver Ryan Wingo expected to play.
- A central matchup pits Texas’ No. 2-ranked run defense against a Georgia rushing attack producing nearly 200 yards per game.
- No. 4 Alabama vs. No. 11 Oklahoma carries similar elimination stakes, and No. 9 Notre Dame’s visit to No. 23 Pittsburgh is viewed as a must-win for an at-large playoff path.
