Georgia dropped a seventy-burger on Western Kentucky, crushing them 70-20, and honestly, the rest of college football might not be ready for this kind of statement. This team just earned an ‘A-‘ grade, and they are playing like they want to remind everyone who they are.
The Dawgs Are Out For Revenge, Y’all
Two games into the 2026 season, the Bulldogs are outright embarrassing opponents, outscoring them a ridiculous 133-23. Sure, it was against Tennessee State and Western Kentucky , not exactly a murderer’s row , but the sheer ruthlessness and authoritative dominance against inferior opposition? That’s what’s got me buzzing. People keep saying, ‘Same old Georgia,’ but that ‘same old Georgia’ was good enough to win back-to-back national titles in 2021 and 2022. It’s not like UGA has fallen off a cliff since then either. This squad sits at an incredible 38-6 record since last hoisting a national championship trophy, and they are the back-to-back reigning SEC champion.
There’s a three-year national title drought, and it feels like Georgia is out to make a definitive statement. They look determined to crush everything in their path to summit college football’s mountaintop once again. Coach Kirby Smart even got salty about his team surrendering 20 points in that Western Kentucky blowout! That’s the mindset of a team on a mission. And while their schedule is easy by SEC standards , no Texas, LSU, Texas A&M, or Tennessee , don’t sleep on those challenging road games at Alabama and Ole Miss. Those are huge opportunities for revenge after they handed UGA its only losses last season. Given what we’ve seen, look out. The Dawgs are coming.
Ohio State’s Meltdown In Texas Tells You Everything
Meanwhile, over in Columbus, the No. 1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes had a total meltdown, earning a C- grade after a brutal 24-23 loss at No. 4 Texas. Can you believe it? They once led that game 23-3! A twenty-point lead gone in smoke in the second half. The defense’s late collapse will grab headlines, and for good reason, but their offense? Absolutely culpable, too. This team desperately needs to find effective perimeter weapons other than Jeremiah Smith, and they must refine their red-zone operation. This squad is looking shaky, plain and simple.
Dating back to last year’s Big Ten Championship Game loss to Indiana, the Buckeyes are a dismal 1-3 over their last four games. That’s a significant slump. With a challenging Big Ten slate looming ahead, Ohio State is anything but a lock to reach the playoff. That’s a huge problem for a team with +600 national title odds.
So, what’s next for these championship contenders? Georgia, with their +650 title odds and that dominant A- grade, rolls into Week 3 for their SEC opener at Arkansas. You know they are coming to crush it and make another statement. For No. 1 Ohio State, they’ve got a tough road ahead with that challenging Big Ten slate. Can they fix those glaring issues and get back on track after such a devastating collapse? We’re watching every snap to find out what these early trends mean for their national championship aspirations this season.
