What the national media is saying about Georgia's win over Mizzou and the road ahead

The Bulldogs shut out Missouri 27-0 on Saturday and head to Auburn next week. The prize beyond that? The SEC Championship.

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia didn't settle with beating Missouri on Saturday -- to coin an phrase of Bulldogs radio legend Larry Munson, they "stomped 'em with a hob-nailed boot!"

Quarterback Jake Fromm tossed two touchdown passes to George Pickens in the game, which moved Georgia closer to a berth in the SEC Championship.

The Bulldog defense completely dominated the Tigers' offense, which was missing two of their biggest playmakers due to injury -- quarterback Kelly Bryant and receiver Johnathon Johnson.

Saturday night's 27-0 shutout of Mizzou positioned the No. 6 Bulldogs to move up in the College Football Playoff Standing when they are released on Tuesday.

While top-ranked Ohio State crushed Maryland 73-14, second-ranked LSU knocked off No. 3 Alabama, 46-44 in a game which was watched by many fans across the nation, including President Donald Trump, who made the trip to Tuscaloosa.

No. 4 ranked Penn State was shocked by 17th-ranked Minnesota, 31-26, while fifth-ranked Clemson polished off NC State to remain unbeaten.

So, the Bulldog faithful are expecting Georgia to rise in the rankings on Tuesday. The big question - can they make it into the coveted Top Four, which would give the a shot at a National Championship Playoff berth?

Time will tell. Meanwhile, here's what the national sporting media are saying about Georgia's victory last night:

Next week, the Bulldogs head down to Auburn and the annual showdown with the Tigers.

A victory there will likely give Georgia the SEC East crown and a ticket to the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, December 9 -- most likely against LSU, who are currently ranked number one in the nation.
