This weekend brings us what used to be an SEC East matchup, but since the abolition of divisions, just a regular SEC game as No. 1 ranked Georgia goes on the road against Kentucky on Saturday.

It's the conference opener for the Bulldogs, who have dominated in two games, allowing six combined points against Clemson and Tennessee Tech.

Kentucky dropped its SEC debut at home against South Carolina in a 31-6 decision that left quarterback Brock Vandagriff completing just 3 passes for 30 yards and not scoring in the second half.
