No. 2 Georgia heads to Oxford for a primetime meeting with No. 11 Ole Miss on Saturday night, with kickoff set for 7:30 EST at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
The Bulldogs enter the matchup as 3.5-point favorites over the RebelsTide, and the game will air on ABC. Fans can also stream it on ESPN or Disney Plus.
Weather shouldn’t be much of a factor. According to The Googles, the temperature is expected to be in the mid 50s, with kickoff near 55 degrees. Cloud cover is expected, but there’s no rain in the forecast.
Georgia is coming off a 27-8 win over No. 17 Florida in the Atlanta Gridiron Classic on Saturday afternoon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
In front of a sellout crowd of 72,541, the Bulldogs’ defense set the tone, forcing four turnovers and turning them into 17 points. The win gave Georgia its sixth straight victory in the series.
That rivalry game had a different look this year, with the annual matchup moved to Atlanta because of renovations to EverBank Stadium. It marked the first time the series was played away from Jacksonville, Fla., since the 1994-95 seasons, when the teams met on campus during another stadium overhaul. Georgia and Florida are set to meet in Tampa next season before returning to Jacksonville in 2028.
The game against Florida was Georgia’s 10th at Mercedes-Benz Stadium since the start of the 2021 season. The Bulldogs led 7-0 after the first quarter and had pushed the margin to 24-0 by the middle of the fourth, with linebacker Chris Cole’s 66-yard fumble return for a touchdown with 29 seconds left in the first half standing out as one of the biggest plays of the day.

Ole Miss Just Got A National Title Endorsement Fans Will Notice
A national title conversation around college football quarterbacks always gets attention, and Danny Kanell added another layer to it by naming five teams he believes have signal-callers good enough to win it all. Georgia made the list, as did Miami, USC, Ole Miss and Notre Dame, with Kanell pointing to the kind of quarterback play that can carry a team through the biggest games. For the Bulldogs, it is another reminder that the margin at the top of the sport is often defined by who can handle the pressure under center when the stakes rise.
The Ole Miss mention is the one that will likely stick with fans around the SEC, especially with Kanell highlighting both Gunner Stockton and Trinidad Chambliss as part of the Rebels' quarterback picture. He also singled out Darian Mensah at Miami, CJ Carr at Notre Dame and Jayden Maiava at USC, tying the discussion to performances and the matchups ahead. For Georgia, the takeaway is less about the praise itself and more about the company it keeps, because any list built around national title quarterbacks is really a snapshot of where the sport thinks the real contenders are headed.

Mike White Is Already Worried About One Georgia Weakness
Georgias preseason tune-up slate gave Mike White a decent early look at where his team stands heading into the 2026-27 season, and the results were mixed enough to leave a clear priority on the board. The Bulldogs beat Georgia State and Charlotte in exhibition play, then fell narrowly to Clemson, a game that showed some encouraging signs but also reinforced a familiar issue from last season.
Defensive rebounding is already the concern White keeps circling back to as Georgia prepares for its opener against N.C. Central. The staff is counting on help from the incoming transfers and freshmen to tighten that area, and the next stretch of practice will be about turning that emphasis into something more reliable once the games start counting.
