This weekend, the annual Florida-Georgia rivalry game will take place in Jacksonville, and the SEC East is once again on the line.
Georgia enters as the No. 8 team in the AP Poll, with Florida two spots ahead at No. 6. So, which coach is under more pressure on Saturday?
SEC Network host Paul Finebaum joined WJOX on Monday morning and said he thinks Georgia’s Kirby Smart is facing more pressure than Dan Mullen (via 247Sports):
“Just think about this — if we’re talking next Monday morning and Kirby Smart has lost — forget what you just said about Auburn, about wasting a championship defense. How about wasting the team that fans — at least — and people inside that building have been pointing toward for a number of years?” Finebaum said. “Kirby Smart has stockpiled talent and has the pieces … but it would appear that, if they can’t win this game, that Florida and Georgia are passing each other in the night — or in broad daylight — down in Jacksonville.”
Will we see a changing of the guard in the SEC East this weekend? Or will Georgia extend its winning streak over the Gators to three?
We’ll find out Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time on CBS.
