No. 9 AUBURN (+2.5) at No. 15 GEORGIA (7:15, ESPN)

Mandel: I couldn't be more excited to see Todd Gurley back on the field. I don't know that it will make that big a difference. Auburn's downfall this season has been its lack of a pass rush. Opponents are averaging 7.2 yards per attempt, 78th nationally. Georgia has not demonstrated big-play passing ability. And it's been maddeningly inconsistent on defense. Auburn can't afford to be sloppy like it was against Texas A&M, but chances are it's going to move up and down the field. Auburn 35, Georgia 24.

Feldman: Gurley's back and he'll face a Tiger D that is reeling after last week's debacle against A&M, a 23-point underdog who pulled a huge upset. The Tigers have allowed 36 ppg in the last four times out. Georgia, 34, Auburn 28.

Auburn at Georgia

Details: Saturday, 7:15 p.m. ET, ESPN

The skinny: Bulldogs star Todd Gurley (above) makes his return after a four-game suspension, but he might be too late to put Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. Though the Bulldogs need help to get there, their push has to begin with a win over Auburn. Auburn's defense has been spotty at best, and Cassanova McKinzy (above) will play a key role in trying to slow Gurley in his first game in more than a month. Georgia's defense, meanwhile, could struggle with Auburn's dynamic read-option rushing attack, led by Nick Marshall and Cameron Artis-Payne, who is emerging as an intriguing NFL prospect. Other key NFL prospects to watch include Auburn's Sammie Coates and Reese Dismukes, and Georgia's Leonard Floyd and Damian Swann.

Clean sweep against us on College Game day.... Herbstreit hoped that Ellis went after the defense after this atrocious past month.

I hope that as well, because he's coaching for more than just that defense now
