Oh Atlanta! Georgia's capital city finally gets a Gators-Bulldogs game

In the song "Oh, Atlanta," the band Little Feat sings of a man pining away for his "redhead dream." "Whoa hot 'lanta … I said oh, oh, Atlanta, I got to get back to you." And for the first time in the history of the Florida vs. Georgia rivalry , which spans 122 yards and 104 games (or 103, according to the Gators), Bulldog fans will realize their red and black dream, to play the Gators in the ATL. The fifth-ranked Bulldogs (6-1) will face the 20th-ranked Gators (5-2) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Oct. 31 (3:30 p.m., ABC) in their first-ever meeting in Atlanta. It's the front end of a neutral-site doubleheader while Jacksonville's Stadium of the Future is under construction, with the Dawgs and Gators playing in Tampa next year before returning to Jacksonville, the site for the game since 1933, in 2028. Both will be coming into the game off some unexpected results last week, with a bye week to rest, evaluate and build emotional momentum for their 105th meeting. The Bulldogs lost 27-24 at home to Auburn (and fell out of the top spot in the polls) and Florida upset Texas by the same score in Austin.
