This is the biggest regular-season game in college football since the 2019 contest between LSU, ranked No. 1 by AP, and Alabama, ranked No. 2.

Saturday's game will mark the first time that teams ranked No. 1 in the AP (Georgia) and College Football Playoff poll (Tennessee) play each other.

For the first time ever in the regular season, the No. 1 AP team is facing off with the No. 1 CFP team

The Bulldogs announced star linebacker Nolan Smith is out for the remainder of the season, a hit to their chances of stopping the Volunteers' high-flying attack.
