Georgia had not forgotten about the loss to Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff last year, and the Bulldogs played like it on Saturday night. They dominated the game from start to finish and defeated the Rebels, 42-7, in Oxford.
To win wasn’t a surprise, but to blow the Rebels like that on the road was a statement. However, the Bulldogs are better than any team when it comes to dominating elite teams on the road, as that is their fifth win in the CFP era of at least 35 points on the road against a top-10 team.

The Bulldogs were the No. 1 team in the country a couple of weeks ago, but lost at home to Auburn. They had a bye the following week, and have looked like a completely new team the last two weeks.
In wins against Florida and Ole Miss, Georgia outscored them by a combined score of 69-15. When the new CFP rankings come out, the Bulldogs could be back at the No. 1 spot as Miami lost to Notre Dame.
The Bulldogs will look to continue their strong play in Week 11 when they host Missouri in Athens.
