This might be one of the worst matchups of the bowl season. Its lone saving grace is that it’s got the benefit of a lower-level team getting to take a shot at a Power 5 squad.
Early signing day is basically just signing day now. UGA’s class is finished for the year, and they managed to haul in one of, if not the most, impressive class under Coach Smart.

It’s homecoming for San Jose State quarterback Chevan Cordeiro, who closes out his college football career in his hometown of Honolulu.

Before the season began, I gave out some preseason awards to UGA players that had all of the importance and value of Schrutebucks.
