ESPN's FPI projects outcome of Georgia's remaining games after bye week
The Georgia Bulldogs are 7-0 heading out of this weekend’s bye, but that doesn’t mean challenges don’t loom ahead.
In fact, the Bulldogs still aren’t projected to win all their remaining games, though that may change in the near future.
According to ESPN’s FPI projections, Georgia is still the underdog in a game against Auburn in three weeks, as you can see in the win percentages below:
- vs. Florida (in Jacksonville) — 83.2 percent
- vs. South Carolina — 87.6 percent
- at Auburn — 44.3 percent
- vs. Kentucky — 94.2 percent
- at Georgia Tech — 74.1 percent
The Florida game looms large this weekend, but if the Bulldogs make it through that game unscathed, it could quickly turn into a great year for coach Kirby Smart’s crew.
The SEC East title should be a shoo-in for the Bulldogs at this point, but they’d still be wise to not take any opponent for granted, as the FPI projections show.
I don’t get the Auburn game at 44.3 percent? Auburn has T A&M the week before UGA. UGA plays SC.
It’s not like Auburn has two weeks to prepare, and SC won’t be any harder than A&M, And I would think A&M would be a bigger challenge for Auburn.
Auburn and Georgia will be a close game. Despite Georgia having the better record, I have not seen them play what I would think as better than us. I think we are pretty evenly matched.
AuburnKev, Georgia has the most impressive quality win (Notre Dame) and has dominated their 4 SEC opponents by an average of 31 Points.
Auburn looks good, and then they don’t. That LSU game was just bad, and just the latest game that Auburn fans point to as, we should have won that one. Auburn has a game just like that every year, when they get dominated in the second half.
Georgia looks like the top 2-3 team based on schedule results.
I’m looking for a tough game. I just don’t see how Auburn can be favored.
I’m lost at where’d you get that Auburn has looked just as impressive as Georgia.
Georgia hasn’t lost. Auburn has lost twice.
Georgia has by far the better win. On the field Georgia looks dominant, even in the Mizzou game georgia looked like they controlled the game. Even in the Notre Dame game, Georgia’s D controlled the game. ( a fumble and a pick is what kept that game so close…freshman first game starting mistakes)
I’m still confused why the FPI has auburn the favorites, and everyone keeps looking at the Auburn game as a possible slip up (yes any given saturday especially in a rivalry game) but I don’t see it. I don’t think it’s going to be close, but we dawg fans have gotten used to our boys losing games like this one, but I don’t see it.
Go tigers beat the dawgs
Might as well root for Auburn since Carolina won’t get it done. LOL
