Alabama Upsets Georgia; Injuries Cloud SEC

Alabama upset No. 5 Georgia 24–21 in Athens, snapping the Dawgs’ six‑year home unbeaten streak and dropping Georgia to No. 12 in the AP poll. Ole Miss beat LSU 24–19 and rose in recent SEC power rankings as LSU’s offense struggled. ESPN’s FPI still ranks Alabama No. 3 nationally behind Oregon and Ohio State. Georgia is carrying several injuries into a Saturday noon home meeting with Kentucky and remains a heavy favorite, while Alabama has key absences (Qua Russaw out; James Smith limited). Additional availability updates include injury upgrades for Texas, doubts for Mississippi State left tackle Albert Reese IV that could help Texas A&M, and multiple questionable or out players reported by ACC/Group teams; teams are expected to issue further availability updates about an hour before kickoff.
