No. 3 Georgia will face No. 17 Florida in Atlanta on Saturday, marking the first time the rivalry game is held in the city due to renovations at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. The game, traditionally played in Jacksonville, will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a 50-50 ticket split between the two fan bases. Georgia coach Kirby Smart said the venue change does not affect the teams much, while Florida coach Jon Sumrall noted Atlanta is not Florida's backyard but called the setup exciting. Georgia is 8-2 in the series under Smart, including five straight wins. The Bulldogs are 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the SEC after a last-second loss to Auburn, while Florida is 5-2 and 3-2 in the conference following its upset of No. 7 Texas. The game carries significant weight for both teams' SEC championship hopes.
