Anticipation for Georgia’s showdown vs. Ole Miss is already growing

Georgia football is only a few hours removed from defeating Auburn in an instant classic, but they have no time to dwell on that result. Up next for the Bulldogs is a matchup against No. 4 Ole Miss in what is the Bulldogs most difficult game left on their schedule.

Anticipation is already sky high for this game as it will determine if Georgia are SEC contenders or pretenders, but the hype just hit an all time high Sunday morning as ESPN's College GameDay announced they will be in Athens next weekend for this showdown.

ESPN's College GameDay is coming to Georgia

Georgia's upcoming matchup against Ole Miss has been chosen as the location for ESPN's weekly College GameDay show. In reality this was an easy choice for ESPN to make because this is the only matchup featuring top 10 teams in all of college football next week.

Ole Miss has been a program on the verge of breaking through for a few years now, but this season appears to be their best chance to win the SEC. The Rebels are 6-0 this season and the No. 4 team in the country, but that is where the good news ends for Ole Miss. While the Rebels deserve to celebrate their perfect record, a lot of their wins have been ugly. This includes a 24-21 win at home against Washington State on Saturday in a game they were favored to win by 33 points.

Ole Miss does have a big win against LSU on their resume, but they only beat Kentucky and Arkansas by seven and six points respectively.

Regardless, this will be a very difficult game for Georgia. The Bulldogs have had their fair share of problems this season as well, and Ole Miss is good enough to take advantage of them. But Georgia has revenge on their mind after last season's loss and they will do whatever it takes to remind the country why they are the top program in the SEC.

GameDay will begin at 9 am EST on Saturday Oct. 18 on ESPN on Georgia's campus with the Bulldogs matchup against Ole Miss taking place later that day at 3:30 pm EST.
