Speaking of the Georgia Bulldogs, they’ll be in contention with the Arkansas Razorbacks for a higher spot and a position in the mix with other solid teams in our SEC Power Rankings after this week.

We probably should have dropped the Dawgs after an embarrassing loss to the Florida Gators, but none of the other teams had done enough to move ahead of them.

And Georgia gets credit for having a Top 50 strength of schedule.

Sure, they have a three-game losing streak, but two of those losses are to the South Carolina Gamecocks and Kentucky Wildcats.

So Florida just caught them at a bad time.

Still, Joni Taylor has a lot of work if she wants to get the Dawgs back into the NCAA Tournament her second year on the job, just like she did her first year.

Offense is slowly getting better, but they haven’t cracked 70 points once this year. Mackenzie Engram, Pachis Roberts, and Caliya Robinson all have to be red-hot scoring for them to win because nobody else can do so.

That has to improve. The Bulldogs are about to have serious tests. They play with house money facing South Carolina this week, but then they have Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Tennessee at home. Winning two of three could get them into NCAA Tournament contention. But that Florida loss was a killer.
