The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs take on the Tennessee Volunteers in the last of three games of the regular season on Saturday.
It's been a magical season for the Dawgs, who have really been the most consistent team in college football. Georgia's defense has allowed just 52 points total this season, while the team has a whole has a 31.9 margin of victory.
As we approach the College Football Playoffs, is it important that the number one ranked Bulldogs play in a close game?
Brandon Adams of DawgNation.com joined the Midday Show to discuss the importance of a close, challenging game.
"What if Tennessee takes the lead? This is one we haven't seen from Georgia very much," Adams told Andy and Randy. "They had a brief 3-0 deficit against Missouri; I think they trailed for a handful of plays against Auburn. For the most part, Georgia's been up in every game by at least two touchdowns so they've just never played in close games."
"If the (Vols) hit a big play early, and all of the sudden now you're asking Georgia to make some plays offensively...that's not a spot we've seen Georgia in very much."
"It's hard to go 12 regular season games without being challenged a couple of times. Georgia may be due for that a little bit...I think that Tennessee could be the kind of an opponent that could give Georgia a fairly stiff test on Saturday."
If that's the case, and it is a close game, could that help the quarterback evaluation between J.T. Daniels and Stetson Bennett?
"I do think, in a roundabout way, the quarterback situation gets resolved on Saturday. If Tennessee hits a couple of big plays, that puts (pressure on Georgia) to hit big plays too. And if Stetson hits those on the road, (in an) SEC environment, at that point in time he's probably demonstrated he's the quarterback they lean on the rest of the way."
