No.4 Missouri Tigers (3-1, 0-1)

The Missouri Tigers welcomed the No.2 Georgia Bulldogs to Columbia in their first SEC matchup. The Tigers simply couldn’t contain the Dogs and lost 43-29. Despite Drew Lock not having his best day the Tigers did have success in the run game but there is work for Mizzou to do on the defensive side of the ball. The Tigers can hope to get back on track offensively with a bye week before playing at South Carolina next Sat.

No.3 Florida Gators (3-1, 1-1)

The Florida Gators headed into Knoxville this past weekend and hammered the Tennessee Vols (2-2, 0-1) in 47-21 rout. While the Vols did have 6 turnovers in the game the Florida offense was able to easily move the ball and produce scores. The Florida defense may be much better than the loss to Kentucky earlier in the season might imply. Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators will have a chance to make another statement as they head to Starkville to take on the No.23 Miss State Bulldogs (3-1, 0-1).

No.2 (17) Kentucky Wildcats (4-0, 2-0)

The Kentucky Wildcats hosted the then No.14 Miss State Bulldogs (3-1, 0-1) and pulled the 28-7 upset at Kroger Field. Mark Stoops has a sound defense which created havoc for the Bulldogs and RB Benny Snell put on a clinic in the Wildcats running game. This Kentucky team is very good and could be the team to reckon with in the SEC East when all is said and done. The Wildcats will be back in action this Saturday as the host South Carolina (2-1, 1-1).

No.1 (2) Georgia Bulldogs (4-0, 2-0)

The Georgia Bulldogs marched into Columbia, Missouri and walked out with a 43-29 win over the Missouri Tigers (3-1, 0-1). The Bulldogs were successful at limiting the high-scoring Missouri passing attack while being very efficient on the offensive side of the ball. While Kirby Smart wasn’t happy with the Bulldogs performance Georgia got a big SEC road win. We are left with the question who can beat the Dogs? The Bulldogs will be back in action this Saturday as they host the Tennessee Volunteers (2-2, 0-1).
