Georgia Tops Tennessee 31-17 in SEC Showdown

In a pivotal matchup, No. 12 Georgia defeated No. 7 Tennessee 31-17, with quarterback Carson Beck throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another, significantly boosting the Bulldogs' College Football Playoff (CFP) prospects. This victory marks Georgia's 29th consecutive home win and comes after a previous loss to Ole Miss that jeopardized their playoff chances. Beck completed 25 of 40 passes for 347 yards, showing resilience after struggling with turnovers earlier in the season. Tennessee initially led 10-0, but Georgia responded effectively, particularly with a decisive 92-yard drive that sealed the game. The win leaves Georgia (8-2, 6-2 SEC) in a strong position for a playoff berth, while Tennessee's hopes for the SEC Championship Game are now uncertain. Both teams have games remaining, with Georgia facing UMass and Georgia Tech, and Tennessee set to play UTEP and Vanderbilt.
