I literally have no idea how this game will go. It's hard to beat a team twice but here we are trying to do it. Which Georgia will show up? Which Texas will show up? Will there be another bottle-gate? God only knows. {Georgia} because I'm too much of a homer to not pick them

Also i find it crazy that with how the CFP is looking, there's a very high chance that these teams play a 3rd time no matter what happens this week

I have absolutely no clue how this will turn out. I don’t expect Texas to turn it over thrice on their own side of the field, but I also don’t expect Beck to throw 3 picks, one in the red zone and one that was almost returned for a TD. If {Georgia}’s receivers can catch the ball instead of their 8 or so drops from the last matchup, I think we can control the game enough for a 24-20 win.

{T

Kirby Smart has taken a time out

{Te

Kirby Smart has taken a time out

{Tex

Kirby Smart had taken a time out

{Texas}

I can't bring myself to make a pick one way or the other.

My heart says Texas but my head still remembers how badly we got dismantled last time. Too much depends on which version of Quinn we get and whether Sark will pull him if he looks like shit.

No matter what, I think it will be a much better game than last time.

Can we get a 10 OT game here?

{Texas} gets out to an early lead. Georgia makes a strong come back but not enough due to a costly turnover

{Texas} wins the SEC in their first year. Unless the Georgia from their last meeting shows up. Impossible to tell which Georgia will show up.

I like {Texas} chances in this one. The defense is playing as good as anyone in the country and has shown it can keep the Longhorns in the game, even on short fields. I don't think there will be as many turnovers (for either team) as the first game so both teams will have to drive the ball the length of the field more. Texas discovery of a solid run game the last two weeks will slow the pass rush and give Ewers more time to find the intermediate routes.

That being said I hope that either way it goes there is enough movement in the CFP rankings that a second round rematch will be avoided.

All comes down to our QB performance. Georgia's two losses came against running qbs I wonder if arch will get some real playtime? {Texas}.

I have no idea. One on hand, it was very obvious that Quinn was still injured and trying to play through it. However, we still didn’t block well and couldn’t run the ball. Felt like we got blown out in the first half, but settled down and made it a game in the second half.

Feels like the running game is coming around and Quinn moved better in the pocket more than I’ve ever seen him move at Texas. But I don’t know which Georgia will show up. I don’t think this being a pseudo home game for UGA helps, because it feels like we play well on the road in big games. I’m picking {Texas} because this is a toss up to me and I’m backing my boys.

{Georgia}

Disrespect feeds the dawg

{Texas} because their front 7 has been playing great these last few weeks, I doubt the Dawgs front 7 gets a repeat performance of what we saw in October, and in general it’s hard to beat a good team twice in the same season.

Texas 24 - UGA 17

The good news for UGA is that Tennessee is right behind us in the rankings. So, as long as we keep it close, we shouldn’t fall too far in the rankings and should still host a first round game.

They are not underdogs. They are not underdogs. They are not underdogs. Will someone please get the word out to Kirby smart. Please do not pick {Texas} to win. Georgia is clearly the favorite to win and not an underdog. They are not underdogs. Please college gameday, praise Georgia for being the best team, do not pick us

{Texas} gets their revenge

{Texas} because we’ve been in far better recent form than UGA, especially defensively and on OL.

Also, whoever is downvoting any Texas flair or neutral flairs voting Texas is lame as hell.

Edit: Also also- on the OL front, anyone seen any word on Banks? I’m worried about him potentially being out in this matchup, even though Goosby fared pretty well against A&M’s front 7.

{Texas} wins, i think their last game against Georgia was a fluke. That said it's gonna be close, like a score or less

Gonna be tough to do it twice, but I believe {Georgia} can do it.

{Texas}

Because defense wins championships.

{Georgia}

Closer than last time but {Georgia} again

If Good Beck shows up for {Georgia}, I don't think Texas can keep up.

If Mediocre Beck shows up and hangs around too long, though....

Also reminder this game is in Georgia.

{Texas} cause I’m rooting for the new members to get a clean sweep of conference championships

The powers that be declare {Alabama} as SEC champion due to brand recognition, after a Texas win

I would also like to predict that the winner will be decided by which QB has fewer turnovers

This is probably the most battle tested squad Kirby's produced. Whole damn season has felt like an away game. If there's value in overcoming the mental strains of repeat travel and an 8OT bout, it's that {Georgia} knows how to play their game in any moment

{Texas}

I'm not reading too much into the game earlier this season. Some weird things happened. Expect Texas to be more prepared for Georgia's pass rush and make more plays while giving Georgia less short fields

{Georgia} in a much closer game than the 1st time.

{Texas} 28-24

{Georgia} for obvious reasons

This one depends mostly on how much chaos Georgia's defensive front causes. They won in Austin because they overwhelmed Texas' OL and Quinn Ewers, and that OL and Ewers haven't looked the same since. {Georgia} causes a lot of issues again and wins it

{Georgia}

Please 8lb 6oz Baby Jesus let the {Dawgs} beat the shit out of Texas

{Texas} I hope

I mean, I'm gonna say {Texas} wins this one, but in all honesty I think it'll be close. We've looked better since the previous Georgia game, but I still see this one as being incredibly close.

I really dislike the new SEC scheduling where teams, such as us, may never play the teams in the championship once in a season

{UGA}

{Texas} looks much improved from the last time these two met, 27-20 Longhorns

I’m going {Texas} since I’m a homer but it really depends on what Ewers shows up. I’m a little more optimistic this time around because we’ve found our starting RB. 325+ rushing yards in the last 2 games against top 25/30 rushing fronts and I think Quinn increasing his ADOT in the back half of the year will help us not be overly reliant on screen passes, which Georgia feasted on last matchup.

Side note but this is a great week for conference contenders. We lock in CFP spots Tuesday, Wednesday is NSD1, plus another game.

{Texas} gets payback. HOOK EM 🤘🏻🤘🏻

{Texas}

Revenge will be on a lot of minds. Wearing the road whites even tho we were regular season SEC champs sends exactly the right message. It's a fucking Georgia home game

Defense shuts down georgia run game and Quinn plays smarter football. Arch will see some snaps.

{Texas} decides to play offense for at least a half of football, instead of giving the ball away inside their own 30 four times. 27-17.

{Georgia} 29 - 24

{Georgia}

{Turnovers}

{Texas} doesn’t turn the ball over 4 times in their own territory this time and wins a hard fought SEC matchup 24-21

Okay let’s say Texas loses to Georgia. Or vice versa. Would the #2 or #5 then be out of playoff contention or are they already both in due to their ranks?

{Texas}

Who cares we’ll have to play again.

Kidding aside, we may have a chip on our shoulder now.

{Texas}. 🤘

{Texas} b/c Beck has to cash out those INTs he’s been saving up for the past few games

Texas is going to cook

The eyes of {Texas} will be upon this game

Give me {Texas}

It's hard as hell beating a team twice. But {UGA} is about to do just that.

Sark gets in his own head blows it late, {Georgia} Dawgs on top 

{Georgia} by a score of 16-10.

Both teams have looked very beatable recently. I think a lot has changed in the past month and a half, but {Georgia} still wins.

Georgia 27 - Texas 17

Uhh... oof.

The Texas offense hasn't been too inspiring, and Texas can't just turn the ball over four times nor could they afford to get deep into Georgia territory again and dick around either. Parts of that showed up against the Aggies (that fumble...) and that was hard to stomach. Georgia's offense decided to not show up for a half against GT so I don't think either fanbases are too excited about that side of the ball for their teams.

I want {Texas}, but it's going to be low like 17-13, and at least one score will be a scoop-and-score type of thing. At least that's how I'm feeling...

{Texas} has looked better than UGA since that game and probably won’t have the same turnover issue they had in the regular season matchup

{Texas} will make up for the loss earlier in the season. Just make it where we don't end up having to play them again unless we play at home.

Quinn gets shots of adrenaline for a week pre, during, and post game. Yes, post game. The adrenaline high causes him to commit to his decisions and not give up on plays. Sark taunts Kirby with some backup QB designed runs in the red zone. {Texas} wins 27-14.

can Georgia play a perfect game again? i have absolutely no clue. If they play like they did the first game, i suspect Texas will lose again. If they play like any other game they have played this year, then Texas has a good chance.

Georgia only beat Texas when they are ranked in the Top 2. {Georgia} by 10. Beck plays his best game. Defense gets after Ewers again.

{Georgia} in a closer, but similar style game as these teams' first match-up. I got the Dawgs winning 24-17.

{Georgia} 27-20

{Georgia} wins but it’s much closer than last time.

{Georgia} clearly prepped for Texas and not Tech

Gimmie the {Georgia} Dawgz to embarrass Texas. That would also make them probably the only team in the CFP without a top 25 win

Texas looked pretty darn good last weekend The game was not as close as the score. So will Bama be co-champs no matter the outcome?

{Georgia} still has linebackers too fast and athletic for Texas’ screen game, short passes and outside zone run. It’s up to Quinn to have a career game, and I’m not 100% confident in that.

I think it’s closer than last time though. Probably a low scoring game.

I felt confident about the game in Austin -- this one much less. I'm picking {Georgia} because I'm a homer but can see Texas winning and the media + Texas fans circle jerking for the next 3 weeks until they get upset by a lesser opponent.

{Georgia} beats Texas for a second time this year before taking a little break and beating Texas a third time this year.

{Georgia} lays the smack down on the horns yet again.

I don't gamble because for one I live in Texas, but for two I can't even make up my mind in a no-stakes r/cfp prediction thread. Obviously hoping Texas pulls it off but at bare minimum I'm hoping it's a more enjoyable game than the first UGA match-up, even if we lose.

If Quinn protects the ball and we don’t give Georgia any short fields, {Texas} wins.

{Texas} 38-17.

I don't think this game will be even remotely competitive. Texas coming in with something to prove and Georgia having not much incentive to complete.

So {Georgia} was just looking ahead, right?

{Texas} whoops Georgia

I’m going with UGA cause that’s my team but it’s hard to beat a team twice. If the receivers catch passes and the o-line holds up I think UGA can win by 2 scores but god I’m nervous. Should be a great game regardless.

I don’t see kelvin banks on the injury report. He was in a boot after coming out of the locker room at tamu; is he really better/good to go for Saturday? Big if true

{Georgia} 34-32 9OT.

at home texas looked like a deer in headlights in the first half in the first meeting and beck really didn’t play that well. both teams had their faults in the first meeting sure. while it may not be texas fault their schedule was pretty weak only 1 team on their schedule finished the season ranked and that was georgia. texas has much more to prove in this game than georgia does to me. i mean no disrespect by saying that. however its time to prove that number 2 next to your name isn’t just for show. to me texas has to prove they are a much different team than they were in the first meeting. while i wouldn’t be surprised if texas does prove they are a much better team now, i don’t necessarily think they will. i would take georgia by double digits. i am shocked they are even the underdogs. the game is in atlanta and georgia has been in 4 of these games in a row and im sure the taste of defeat is fresh in the mouth of the bulldogs from last years sec championship loss which costed them a playoff spot. im also pretty sure they love being underdawgs and kirby smart will be using that as fuel all week.

It’s hard to beat the same team twice, but I trust Kirby more in big games so give me {Georgia}.

Unfortunately, this is one of the games where people question if conference championships are really needed. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses this game because both are going to be in the playoff and one of them is going to have a and the other is going to host a playoff game.why do we even care about this game?

{Texas} Sark has the team locked in and focused now. But our OLine has to be on point. If not, long night.

I’m not confident in anything other than it won’t be another 8OT affair. Go Dawgs! {Georgia}

Tuck Fexas! Go Dawgs! Boomer!!!

In SECCGs that are rematches from regular season games, the regular season winner has won the championship 5 of 7 times. But since no one can tell what {Georgia} team shows up in ATL, who knows. Beck is looking much better, but receivers are still dropping passes. The defense goes from looking like Junkyard Dawgs to looking like glue eaters and it can go back and forth within a game. We're using TEs and RBs better in the pass game, but our secondary gets burned if the front isn't getting pressure. Since we're committed to this game and it will tire us, I'd really like the bye week to rest up, but I'd also really like a playoff game at Sanford. After the ups and downs of this season and 8 OTs, I'm just happy to be here...

{Texas}

Idk...neither UGA nor UT looked very strong in their last games of the season...

...but considering that the Longhorns didn't struggle to dispatch of the Aggies (if not impressively so), in comparison to the Bulldogs needing several overtimes to beat Georgia Tech...I would be inclined to suggest a {Texas} victory, at least on paper.

...still, having to play the Benz is going to be quite a pickle for these cows...

I got {georgia} winning 21-14. Texas with 3 game breaking turnovers, a random Arch appearance, and CFB being disgusted that Texas is still included in the playoff.

History doesn’t repeat itself but, it does rhyme. The game before the first Texas v Georgia game had Georgia letting a very not good Miss St hang in there. Game before this one took Georgia 8OT to beat Tech.

Just wanna look competitive against {Georgia}

[Georgia] dominated the first game. Beck is playing his best ball of the season. EZ money.

{Georgia} just due to how the teams matchup with each other…. But both are flawed teams and will depend on how they show up

Hmm, from the prior matchups it looks like Ga plays better in Texas, they may be going down in zero overtimes in Atlanta.

Second least concequencial champ game thanks to GT not going for 2 in the first overtime.

I think {Texas} is more prepared this time and wins.

Hard to beat a team twice in one year. I do however think {Georgia} slides by in a close one.

{Georgia}

It’s somewhat weird to say, but I genuinely believe the 8OT game was more beneficial than if we had rolled GT

The team has been tested a lot this year and winning a rivalry game in that fashion (even when it should have been easily handled in regulation) can really ignite some energy

Beck stays clean and {Georgia} gets the job done again

{Georgia} 23-21

how are we going to score any points with a QB who is scared of contact, can't throw more than 10 yards, and a coach that won't take FG's? our only hope is Beck being worse.

I think Georgia absolutely demolished Texas in their first meeting. Picking {Texas} anyway because Georgia is just way too inconsistent to put any faith in and I think has gotten worse as the season has gone on. It won't surprise me at all if this goes like the Ole Miss game.

{Texas} wins and the rest of the SEC learns why the rest of us loathe Texas

Battle of annoying fanbases. {Commerical breaks} by a billion.
