Sunday unsurprisingly was full of big news that impacted the Georgia football program after their dominant win over Ole Miss this weekend. The Bulldogs even got some interesting recruiting news when it comes to a former five-star recruit they were once after this summer.
Georgia however is ready to turn the page and start preparing for their next opponent. That team is Missouri, and Vegas is predicting a long day for the Tigers when they come to Athens this weekend.
Georgia is a big favorite over Missouri
Georgia originally opened as a 13.5 point favorite over Missouri for their upcoming matchup this weekend, according to the DraftKings Sportsbook. That number felt low considering Georgia just blew Ole Miss out, and after just 24 hours that number has slid up one point to 14.5 points.
This spread still feels a little low considering Missouri lost to Ole Miss earlier this season 31-3. The Tigers however just missed out on being ranked this week as they were the first team out at No. 26. This shows that they are still a solid team, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Georgia cover this spread based on how they've been playing over the last two weeks.
Georgia is back at No. 1 in the AP Poll
Three weeks ago Georgia was the No. 1 team in the country, but that only lasted one week after they were upset at home by Auburn. Fast forward to this week and the Bulldogs are back at No. 1 after beating Ole Miss and Miami, who was previously ranked No. 1, lost their first game of the season to Notre Dame.
Georgia now has an opportunity to right their wrong that occurred when they lost to Auburn. The Bulldogs clearly weren't able to handle being ranked No. 1 three weeks ago because that Auburn team has shown just how bad they are since that game. That was a game Georgia never should've lost, but all they can do is learn from their mistakes and not let it happen again.
Georgia gets Missouri at home this week who is a better team than Auburn, but this once again is a game they are expected to win with ease as the No. 1 team in the country.
5-star OT Mark Matthews is back on the market
Mark Matthews is a five-star offensive tackle who is the No. 1 player in the country at his position in the 2027 recruiting class. He originally committed to Texas A&M in May, but on Sunday he decommitted from the Aggies.
Georgia was one of his four finalists when he committed to Texas A&M, so there's a chance he could still have some interest in UGA now that he isn't with the Aggies anymore. No public connection has been made between him and Georgia since he decommitted, but it would be shocking if Kirby Smart didn't at least reach out to him.
A new report did surface later in the day on Sunday claiming Miami is the team to beat in Matthews' recruitment, but anything is possible in recruiting nowadays and Georgia should at least check in with him.
