Georgia is undefeated heading into week four, but standing in their way is an Oklahoma team ready to make a statement. The Sooners have fallen on hard times early this season, but the opportunity to win in Athens against one of the best teams in the country is exactly what they need to get their season back on track.
As always, we have you covered with all of the information you need to know to watch Georgia and Oklahoma meet for the first time as SEC foes.
What time do Georgia and Oklahoma play?
Kickoff between Georgia and Oklahoma is scheduled for 3:30 pm EST on Saturday, Sept. 26. This game is being played in Sanford Stadium on Georgia's campus in Athens, GA.
This game time was met with some frustration from Georgia's fan base. A 3:30 game time isn't terrible, but a matchup featuring two of the most historic college football programs of all time may have deserved a night game. That's at least what Georgia fans think, but the SEC clearly disagrees.

Two storylines dominating Georgia's upcoming matchup against Oklahoma
Star Oklahoma defender David Stone's status for Saturday's game is unknown
During Monday's practice this week Oklahoma defensive lineman David Stone went down with a knee injury. Initial reports indicated that he was unlikely to play this weekend at Georgia, but on Tuesday head coach Brent Venables said that his X-rays came back positive.
He was unable to confirm if Stone will be play this Saturday or not. Stone however is one of Oklahoma's best defenders and a projected first round NFL Draft pick. Georgia's offense stands a much better chance at moving the ball with him not in the game, but his status isn't clear at this point.
Georgia's 51 game win streak against unranked opponents is on the line
Georgia is currently riding a 51 game win streak against unranked opponents. This still isn't close to Alabama's record of 100 consecutive wins against unranked opponents that has since been snapped, but Georgia's goal is to eventually catch the Tide.
Oklahoma just fell out of the top 25 rankings this week after narrowly beating New Mexico at home. Just because they aren't ranked anymore doesn't mean they can't win this game though, in fact they may be one of the best unranked teams Georgia has played throughout this 51 game streak.
Georgia vs Oklahoma predictions
Georgia and Oklahoma is a battle of two of the best defenses in the country. The Sooners have only given up 7.6 points per game this season while Georgia has allowed 13.3 points per game. Georgia's offense however has been much better than Oklahoma's who has been struggling the last two weeks, so the Bulldogs offense could be the difference in this game.
Gunner Stockton hasn't faced a defense like this all season. He however has experienced what it's like to go up against a true SEC defense multiple times last year, so he won't be phased. Saturday will most likely be the first time he plays all game, and his stats will reflect that as he'll throw for over 250 yards with three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown.
Georgia's defense will give up a few early scores to Oklahoma, but they will tighten things up as the game goes on and dominate the Sooners offense throughout the second half.
This game will be close through the first three quarters, but a timely turnover by Georgia's defense late in the game will set Stockton up to throw his third touchdown pass and the Bulldogs will cruise to victory from there.
Prediction: Georgia 31, Oklahoma 13
