3. Vanderbilt Commodores

Vanderbilt's rise to stardom has been one of the biggest stories in the SEC over the past two years. But with star quarterback Diego Pavia leaving the program after this year no one knows if the Commodores will continue competing at a high level or if they will fall back down to the bottom of the conference.

So this may seem like a weird game to list, but there is one big reason why this game matters so much.

Georgia's prized recruit Jared Curtis broke the hearts of UGA fans after he decided to flip to Vanderbilt right before Early Signing Day. So this left Georgia desperately wanting to get revenge, and they thankfully will get that chance early next season at home.

Even with Curtis likely being the starting quarterback it is still a stretch for the Commodores to challenge for an SEC title. But similalry to Ole Miss, this is a game Georgia will be favored in that they can't afford to lose. And beating Curtis after he left the program would make this victory that much better.
