Georgia (4-5, 3-4 SEC) has now been eliminated from SEC East contention after their 34-31 overtime loss to Florida in Jacksonville. The Dawgs need to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible.

After Idaho State, the Bulldogs play at Auburn (11/13), have an open date (11/20) and then host in-state rival Georgia Tech (11/27).

If the Dawgs get to six wins, possible bowl destinations include the Music City Bowl (12/30 vs. ACC), the Liberty Bowl (12/31 vs. C-USA) and the Birmingham Bowl (01/08 vs. Big East).

The Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana is no longer affiliated with the SEC. Their matchup now features the ACC against the Mountain West.

Saturday’s opponent, Idaho State, is a member of the Big Sky Conference in the Football Championship Subdivision. The Bengals are currently 1-7 overall and 0-6 in their conference. And just like Georgia, Idaho State is coming off of a 3-point loss in overtime.
