The excitement for this one is immeasurable. The #1 team in all the land, the Tennessee Volunteers, travel to Athens, Georgia, and take on the defending champion of College Football, the Georgia Bulldogs.
If this game doesn't excite you, I don't know what will. Not only does this game have huge SEC title implications, but National title implications as well.
The way Georgia's defense attacks the explosive Tennessee offense will determine the victor. We know the Volunteers won't be intimidated following their upset win over the Alabama Crimson Tide a few weeks ago.

The Tennessee Volunteers head into this match-up with the defending champs as hot as any team in the country. The Volunteers are 8-0, with four victories over ranked opponents.
Hendon Hooker and the Volunteers' passing attack is the story of College Football season thus far. Hooker is the Heisman Trophy favorite with 21 TD passes to one interception. Hooker has been phenomenal all season long and has played his best in the brightest spots.
Hooker has a running mate in WR Jalin Hyatt. Hyatt has been a highlight film all season long to the tune of 907 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns. Can the Georgia Bulldogs' defense neutralize the explosive plays between the most dynamic duo in college football?
The Georgia Bulldogs aren't sensational on offense. Veteran signal caller Stetson Bennett plays cool, calm, and collected while keeping the Georgia offense on schedule.
The Bulldogs lead on a committee backfield approach with four running backs. The Georgia running game will be crucial to keep the Tennessee offense off the field with long sustaining drives.
Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington are the match-up problems at the TE position. Both are size/speed athletes that cause problems for linebackers and defensive backs alike.

Fixture: Tennessee Volunteers @ Georgia Bulldogs
Date and Time: Saturday, November 5, 3 3:30 PM ET
Venue: Sanford Stadium, Athens, Georgia
Tennessee Volunteers vs. Georgia Bulldogs Best Pick:
The Georgia bulldogs will want to control the clock with long possessions, keeping Hendon Hooker off the field. I don't see the Volunteers establishing the run against a formidable Bulldogs' front seven. The game will be in the hands of Hendon Hooker, and I believe the Heisman frontrunner is up to the challenge.
Hendon Hooker, 285.5 Passing Yards: Over
Tennessee Volunteers vs. Georgia Bulldogs Final Prediction
The lack of respect that the #1 team in the nation is receiving in this spot is astonishing. Georgia is tremendous, there is no doubt, and they are terrific at home, but over a TD underdog, with the resume, Tennessee has compiled? Georgia will likely win the game, but Tennessee will keep this one tight.
Tennessee Volunteers: +8 (-110)
