Perhaps this is a bit of an overreaction. Last week alone, however, isn’t the reason we dropped the Georgia Bulldogs from No. 10 to No. 14 in our SEC Power Rankings.

It’s about what they’ve done over the past few weeks that moves them to No. 14. After losing to the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Ole Miss Rebels, the Dawgs are now on a five-game losing streak after starting off 10-6 and 2-1 in the SEC.

We could have let that go for the most part after the streak started with losses to South Carolina and Kentucky.

But while another loss to South Carolina is part of the streak, Florida and Ole Miss are also now part of it.

Two weeks ago, the Gators were next to last in the SEC. But their win over the Dawgs sparked something, and we found out this week that it wasn’t a fluke after Georgia lost to Ole Miss.

Now they are next to last in the conference when it comes to the standings, and in terms of how they are playing, we have them right at last place.

And it doesn’t figure to get any better. The Arkansas Razorbacks on the road are up next, but they are the easiest team the Dawgs will face in three weeks after that. They then have to face Tennessee, Kentucky again, Auburn, Mississippi State, and LSU.
