Dogs Atop The Polls
For the sixth straight week, Georgia is the unanimous No. 1 team in the AP and Coaches polls. This matches the longest stretch at No. 1 since 1980. Currently, Georgia is ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff poll. Before this season, the last time Georgia was No. 1 in the CFP poll was for two weeks during the 2017 season (Oct. 31, Nov. 7). The third 2021 CFP ranking will be released on Tuesday. Georgia is 4-0 versus ranked teams, including a pair of top-10 wins.
Georgia-Charleston Southern Series History
The Bulldogs and Buccaneers have met only once and that came in 2014. Six different Georgia players scored as UGA topped Charleston Southern 55-9. Former Georgia receiver and current Houston Texan Chris Conley hauled in two touchdown passes from Hutson Mason and former Bulldog running back and current Cleveland Brown Nick Chubb had two scoring runs, including an 83-yard scamper. While the Buccaneers tallied 190 yards on the ground and won the turnover battle two to one, they only managed 21 through the air. Meanwhile, Georgia piled up 580 yards and was never forced to punt.
