Will there be any Playoff-altering upsets this weekend? ByPatForde previews and picks all 10 FBS conference championships
Potential College Football Playoff impact: If Georgia wins it should solidify its hold on the No. 1 seed. If Georgia loses, the Bulldogs likely will slip from that perch while remaining in the field. LSU is out of the running, thanks to a dreadful performance at Texas A&M Saturday.
Shock The World threat level: Low. The only way this gets dicey is if Georgia turns the ball over three or more times. Kirby Smart’s team has played one game all season in which it didn’t have at least a two-score lead in the fourth quarter. That was at Missouri in early October, and the Bulldogs actually trailed in the fourth before rallying. Before and after that strange night, they have not wobbled at all. Hard to envision LSU doing something nobody else has done this year.
Dash pick: Georgia 35, LSU 13. The Bulldogs have reverted more to a ground-and-pound identity in the final third of the season, running the ball 60.7 percent of the time in the last four games vs. 48.4 percent in the first eight. But playing indoors against an LSU defense that ranks 11th in the SEC in passes surrendered of 20 yards or longer and 30 yards or longer , Stetson Bennett may get a few more chances to air it out.
