Although not dominant, the Georgia Bulldogs are undefeated in their quest for a 3-peat. Mark Stoops has done the impossible as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. Stoops has turned one of the worst NCAA Football Betting programs in the SEC into a consistent contender and winner. Stoops has produced seven consecutive bowl seasons. And he turned in a pair of 10-win seasons. But Stoops has been unable to crack the Iron Curtain of the SEC East. On Saturday, he gets a chance when he leads his Wildcats to face the 2-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs.
