Today, they reside in the land of the unranked.
Georgia tumbled from the nation’s elite as a result of Saturday’s 31-27 loss at Vanderbilt, which followed a 41-26 home loss to Missouri the Saturday before. The wounded Bulldogs are 4-3 and will be off this weekend before facing 4-3 and equally wounded Florida in Jacksonville.
“I think we’ll be fine, really, because I think we have a really good group of players in not only talent but as people,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said late Sunday afternoon. “Our coaching staff is going to be working hard and believing and knowing there is a lot to play for.”
The Bulldogs are unranked for the first time since October 2011 and are hoping for good news on the health front between now and their kickoff against the Gators.
