This weekend is set up to be one of the wildest championship weekends in a long time, thanks in large part to the College Football Playoff selection committee.

At least 10 teams still have hopes of making the final four when the Playoff field is announced on Sunday, and all but one of those teams (No. 5 Alabama) will play for a conference title on either Friday or Saturday.

In the SEC, Auburn and Georgia will meet in Atlanta in what is essentially a Playoff elimination game, as the loser will have no chance of making the field.

The squads met up for their annual rivalry game earlier this season, with the Tigers taking care of business at Jordan-Hare Stadium in a convincing 40-17 victory over the Bulldogs.

However, this time around, things will be different. Here are 10 reasons Georgia can (and will) win the rematch on Saturday afternoon:

1. They’ve seen the Tigers before

It’s very hard to beat a team twice in one season, and now that the Bulldogs have seen the Tigers at their best, they’ll be able to adjust their game plan accordingly.

No, it still won’t be easy for the Bulldogs to win the conference title, but OC Jim Chaney and DC Mel Tucker have now had time to figure out where Auburn’s weaknesses are and how Georgia can exploit them.

2. Auburn’s running backs are beaten up

Heisman contender Kerryon Johnson injured his shoulder in the Iron Bowl last weekend but will try to give it a go on Saturday. However, if he’s not at full strength, that will make things a lot easier on the Bulldogs.

If Johnson can’t go, backup Kam Martin also appeared to suffer a minor injury against the Crimson Tide, so he may not be at 100 percent either. Auburn’s entire offense is based around a successful running game, so if a banged-up backfield struggles to get momentum early, the Bulldogs will be able to hang around.

3. Home-field(ish) advantage

It’s not like Auburn is traveling to Atlanta from the West Coast or anything, but Athens is slightly closer to the location of the SEC Championship Game. Plus, there’s a huge base of Georgia fans already located in the city.

While it won’t be a totally red-clad crowd, the Bulldogs should have a noticeable advantage when it comes to fans in the stands at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

4. Jake Fromm is coming off one of his best games …

Against Georgia Tech last weekend, the true freshman completed 12 of his 16 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns (to go with zero interceptions).

While no one will be comparing him to Mizzou QB Drew Lock anytime soon, it was a big boost for Fromm’s confidence. He knows he’ll have to make big plays through the air to beat the Tigers, and he goes into the game with the most momentum he’s had all year.

5. … But the Bulldogs won’t be afraid to make a switch

In the first loss to Auburn, even as Fromm struggled, there was never much doubt that he was going to remain in the game until it was out of reach.

However, in a winner-take-all matchup on Saturday, if Fromm starts out poorly, the Bulldogs won’t have a choice but to pull him and insert sophomore Jacob Eason.

Eason hasn’t played much since injuring his knee in Week 1, but if Fromm can’t get the job done, Eason will be ready at a moment’s notice to attempt to earn his starting gig back.

6. Mecole Hardman is hitting his stride

For the last four weeks, Hardman has become an X factor in the Georgia attack, able to make plays as a receiver, a running back and a return man.

He only got two offensive touches against Auburn the first time around, but finding ways to get him and freshman RB D’Andre Swift the ball could prove to be the difference against the Tigers’ elite defense.

7. The rumors are swirling in Auburn

Even though Auburn coach Gus Malzahn is only one win away from a CFP berth, he can’t escape the rumors connecting him to the Arkansas opening. Meanwhile, DC Kevin Steele has been linked to the Tennessee job all week.

Even if both of them end up staying at Auburn, dealing with those rumors is an unwelcome distraction in such an important week.

8. Penalties will be a focus

Last time the teams played, the Bulldogs committed seven penalties for 75 yards, while Auburn was penalized only 29 yards on five infractions.

Coach Kirby Smart said after the game that the Bulldogs made uncharacteristic mistakes, so you can bet he and his staff have worked overtime to clean up those issues.

9. The Bulldogs have motivation

Though you don’t need any extra motivation to get ready for a conference championship game, it’s safe to say the Bulldogs haven’t forgotten Malzahn’s “We whipped the dog crap out of them, didn’t we?” comment following the Tigers’ most recent win over Georgia.

The Bulldogs will certainly be looking to change the narrative, and if they win, the response to Malzahn’s comments should be excellent.

10. The Bulldogs’ defense will be ready for trick plays

The first time a team plays Auburn, there are always a couple of offensive plays that the defense isn’t expecting. The Tigers ran a couple of those against the Bulldogs the first time around, one of which was a very intricate screen pass that Johnson took all the way to the end zone.

This time, Tucker’s defense won’t be fooled, so the Tigers will have to try to line up and beat the Bulldogs without much trickery. It still won’t be easy for the Bulldogs to win, but they’ll have a better chance than they did a few weeks ago.
