2023 The Georgia Game

 The South's older rivalry is here at Jordan-Hare in September and it's still hard to swallow that this game is no in September.  So much history in this series.  The Tigers are a 14 point underdog against the #1 Bulldogs who have won the last two National Championships.  Auburn is coming off a disappointing 27 to 10 loss in College Station, Texas.  Georgia is 4 and 0 coming to their first road game.  We're going need some 2013 magic.  The Bulldogs are favored by at least 14.
