GEORGIA vs. FLORIDA, 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS – The No. 11 Gators are just 2-point favorites. Both squads like to run the football. Faton Bauta apparently won a three-way battle at the QB spot this week and will make his first career start for the Bulldogs, ranked 25th in the Coaches Poll. With first place in the SEC East on the line, this game will likely be won in the fourth quarter. Sony Mitchell has proven himself as a solid replacement for Nick Chubb, rushing for 145 yards against Tennessee, and 92 yards against Missouri. But the Bulldogs will need more to beat the No. 21 rushing defense in the country. Bauta has a dangerous downfield receiver in Malcolm Mitchell, who leads Georgia with 35 catches for 505 yards and four touchdowns. Florida QB Treon Harris, impressive in his first start against LSU, had two weeks to prepare with the first team and should be sharper. With a victory, Georgia (5-2, 2-2 SEC) will tie Florida (6-1, 4-1 SEC) atop the East standings and own the head-to-head tiebreaker.
