The Georgia Bulldogs were able to get back on track with a nice road win against the Kentucky Wildcats. But that’s not enough to move them that far up our SEC Power Rankings.

They just did enough to move ahead of the team they beat since it was a road win.

Still, this team is wildly inconsistent. Jacob Eason may be a freshman phenom, but he has a ton of work to do to get more consistent. Torching a suspect Kentucky defense is not much to boast about. The good news, however, is that Sony Michel and Nick Chubb are both looking good as by-committee running backs.

At the same time, the defense looks solid. It did its part on Saturday to win the game. The turnovers are still an issue, though. Kirby Smart has not completely brought Nick Saban’s discipline to Athens.

Fortunately, this team has a great chance for a strong finish in a rebuilding year. They host their arch-rival Auburn Tigers this weekend, then they close the season out against Louisiana Lafayette and Georgia Tech. Getting to 7-5 is likely for this team, but 6-6 or 8-4 are both real possibilities.

How they finish the season will set the tone for the future of the program.
