Georgia beat Georgia Tech 16-9 on Friday, Nov. 28. Stockton passed for 70 yards on 11-of-21 attempts (52.4%) with one touchdown and one interception. He also carried the ball 15 times for 42 yards. Frazier carried the ball 16 times for 108 yards, adding two receptions for five yards. Branch put up 53 yards on five catches with one touchdown.

No. 4 Georgia finished with an 11-1 record — its lone loss came against No. 10 Alabama back in September — and the Bulldogs will get a chance to exact some revenge on the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 6.

Georgia Tech fell four spots to the No. 23 ranking after their loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs have ranked wins over No. 23 Georgia Tech, No. 5 Ole Miss, No. 14 Texas and No. 24 Tennessee this season. Georgia is the nation's highest ranked one loss team in the poll.

Georgia will play for the SEC Championship next week, like it or not. The Beltline debate is simply a symptom of FBS college football's current crossroads -- a postseason stitched together by overlapping solutions that other levels of the sport perfected long ago, yet still hasn't quite landed here.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart said his team would welcome a potential SEC title game berth after the Bulldogs finished the regular season with a win over Georgia Tech.

Georgia and Alabama already met earlier this season with the Crimson Tide winning 24-21 on the road. The defeat was Georgia's lone loss of the season. Alabama and Georgia have taken different paths to make the SEC championship, but both teams have played their best against ranked opposition this season.

Kirby Smart isn't into living his coaching life in fear, and he doesn't want his players to either as Georgia closes in on a Playoff spot.
