College football rankings poll projection. Could Georgia lose ground to Utah
The lead between the top two could tighten in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll after Utah’s 40-39 road win against Arizona . That gives the Utes three wins against teams in the current rankings. Combined with its unbeaten record, Utah could cut into Georgia ’s advantage in first-place votes. The Utes had 14 first-place votes to the Bulldogs’ 54 in last week’s Top 25. But Georgia delivered its own win against a ranked opponent in Missouri, though this win came at home. That will guarantee that Georgia remains No. 1 with room to spare. There may be no movement in the new top 10 unless voters are swayed by Wake Forest’s 49-21 win against SMU . Ranked No. 11 heading into the weekend, the Demon Deacons would need to leapfrog Texas Tech after the Red Raiders ’ win at Oklahoma State. Here’s how the top 10 of this week’s Coaches Poll should look: 1. Georgia (9-1) Georgia has unlocked a new level of game control. The Bulldogs led Florida 24-0 at halftime on Halloween, led Ole Miss 28-0 at halftime last week and then put up 21 points in the first quarter of Saturday’s 48-21 romp against Missouri. There

Nation's top available recruit announces commitment decision
Former Georgia Bulldogs recruiting target Jatori Williams has found a new home. He committed to the Auburn Tigers , according to Hayes Fawcett . Williams is a four-star interior offensive lineman in the class of 2027. The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder plays for Central Phenix City High School in Phenix City, Alabama, which is about 35 miles away from Auburn. He is the No. 5 interior offensive lineman and No. 97 overall prospect in the nation. Prior to his commitment, Williams was the top uncommitted recruit in the country. All of the nation's top-200 recruits are committed to college football programs. Williams decommitted from the Miami Hurricanes on Oct. 13. The Bulldogs were in Williams' top five schools during his original commitment process. When he decommitted from Miami, many thought it would be for Georgia . Instead, the allure of playing college football near his hometown led him to Auburn. Auburn has the No. 11 recruiting class in the nation, but it still lags behind Georgia's fifth-ranked class. Georgia flipped Mark Matthews, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the nation, from Texas A&M on Nov. 9. The Bulldogs likely were not in the market for Williams after landing Matthews. Georgia has earned

Clarke Central football advances, South Effingham eliminated from playoffs
ATHENS — Clarke Central head coach David Perno has never been in a situation where the offense has gone that long without touching the ball. South Effingham managed to string together several massive drives to eat up the clock, but their offensive front could not overpower the Gladiator shield, and the Mustangs fell 28-20 in the first round of the GHSA Class 6A state playoffs. "We had to make a big stop," Perno said. "Offense played good. We moved the ball. We were three for three in the first half. And we knew that drive, right before the half, kind of kept them in it. "I give credit to them. Got to tip your hat. They converted five or six third downs on that drive, ate up the whole second quarter and scored, and then got it coming out and made another long drive. That was bizarre." Clarke Central senior running back Tino Rangel, who transferred in this season from Hart County, got the scoring started for the Red and Gold on a 10-yard sprint with 9:24 remaining in the first quarter. He added his second touchdown on a goal line jump two minutes and 20 seconds later, securing a

Georgia woman wins new Ford Bronco in lottery draw
Marisol Rodriguez recalled she was at a mechanic's garage on Sept. 30 for an emissions test for her 2007 Dodge Nitro, when she received a surprising email saying she had won a brand new Ford Bronco. “I was actually with my other car and trying to pass an emissions test. It failed,” the 26-year-old Lawrenceville woman said Thursday as she stood next to her polished new red 2026 Ford Bronco, which should pass an emissions test. Find a Book: Meet former UGA stars at Athens book signing event “I called them and said, 'Are you sure this is not a scam?' And they said, ‘No, it’s not a scam. You won the Bronco,” she said. Rodriquez arrived Thursday to receive the new Bronco at the Athens Ford dealership on Atlanta Highway in Athens. Besides a failed emission test that showed her old vehicle needed repairs, she also received the memorable email on her mother’s birthday. “I’ll never forget it,” said the woman, who works for a healthcare clinic in Snellville that mostly helps people without insurance. “I couldn’t believe it, and I still don’t.” At the dealership, she gave interviews and posed for pictures with the news media. “I picked
