Winner: The Oregon win

Georgia’s 49-3 win over Oregon to open the season was about as impressive as any team could look.

Now nearly two months later, that result looks even better. The Ducks have not lost since that first game. Dan Lanning’s team has scored 40 points in each of its last seven games, including a 45-30 win over previously No. 9 UCLA.

The final score though was not indicative of how dominant the Ducks were. Bo Nix threw for five touchdown passes, looking like a completely different passer than the one we saw against the Bulldogs.

Oregon is now the No. 8 team in the country and the clear best team in the PAC-12. If the Ducks keep winning, they themselves may have a very real playoff case.

The Week 1 win over Oregon should help bolster Georgia’s claim to the top spot in the current rankings. If the Bulldogs continue to take of their business, there will be little doubt about where Georgia belongs in the pecking order.
