The Georgia Bulldogs picked up a convincing 45-0 victory over Austin Peay on Saturday, and while it wasn’t a big-name opponent, it was still a quality effort.
The win has given ESPN’s FPI projections confidence in the Dawgs, as they are now favored in every remaining game.
Even with tough games at South Carolina, at LSU and vs. Auburn, the FPI projections think the Bulldogs will emerge victorious in all 11 remaining contests, with the game against Auburn the toughest (with just a 58.7-percent chance of victory):
- at South Carolina — 73.3%
- vs. Middle Tennessee — 98.2%
- at Mizzou — 72.7%
- vs. Tennessee — 94.8%
- vs. Vanderbilt — 95.0%
- at LSU — 64.8%
- vs. Florida — 74.3%
- at Kentucky — 89.5%
- vs. Auburn — 58.7%
- vs. UMass — 97.7%
- vs. Georgia Tech — 87.1%
Obviously, the Dawgs still have a lot of work to do to make these projections come true, but they proved they’re a good team on Saturday, and we’ll have to see if they can continue taking care of business.
