The Bulldogs knocked off LSU in dominating fashion. A 30-point slugging has the other Bulldogs from the SEC in a good spot when they travel to Athens to face Georgia this week.

Vanderbilt is by far the strangest newcomer. After defeating Kansas State, the Commodores play host to 1 Alabama. We will get to see just how good this team is.
