It's time for one of college football's greatest traditions, as 11th-ranked Florida (6-1, 4-1 in the SEC) and Georgia (5-2, 3-2 in conference) head to Jacksonville for their annual rivalry/SEC East showdown at EverBank Field. For the Gators, it's a chance to solidify their lead in the divisional race and take a major step towards clinching a spot in the SEC Championship Game. For Georgia, it's a chance to get back into that race and pull even with the Gators plus grabbing the tie-breaker edge in the standings.
How to watch Florida vs. Georgia on TV or online, plus 3 things to know
It’s the World’s Largest thing we’re not supposed to call it anymore!
The Bulldogs may be out of the College Football Playoff, but there's still a chance at the conference title to play for, especially with a very manageable remaining schedule:
| 7-Nov | Kentucky | 87 | 82% | W | 16.1 | 36.2 - 20.1 | 6.21 |
| 14-Nov | at Auburn | 79 | 69% | W | 8.6 | 32.7 - 24.1 | 6.91 |
| 21-Nov | Georgia Southern | 48 | 66% | W | 7.1 | 32.6 - 25.5 | 7.56 |
| 28-Nov | at Georgia Tech | 52 | 55% | W | 2.0 | 30.0 - 28.0 | 8.11 |
Florida can't quite clinch the division yet, but they'd definitely have the pole position with only Vanderbilt still in the way. Treon Harris will make his second start in relief of the suspended Will Grier, after a respectable performance versus LSU two weeks ago.

Three big things to know
1. Strength on strength
If you’re a big fan of line play, this game should have plenty for you. The Gators front averages three sacks and 7.8 tackles for loss per game, two of the better figures in the SEC. Georgia’s offensive line ranks second in the league behind Arkansas in both sacks and tackles for loss allowed. So this should be a good opportunity to see what these two units are made of.
2. Antonio Callaway
The 5’11 freshman for the Gators is emerging as a big-play threat for Florida. He’s averaging 14.7 yards per punt return plus 19 yards per catch, and his spectacular one-handed grab and 72-yard punt return helped keep the Gators in the game with LSU two weeks ago. Georgia’s allowed 20 plays of 20 yards or more this season, so there may be some deep-ball opportunities for Callaway and Harris.
3. Third-down troubles
Greyson Lambert could best be described as solid, if unspectacular this season, with a 149.2 rating and nine touchdowns against just two picks at the midpoint. But third down has been a problem: His completion rate drops to 50 percent at just 5.9 yards per attempt. Coupled with Florida's pass rush and secondary, that might be where the game is won or lost.
