How to read this table

Win chances are our model for Georgia, through 8 games. This week's game comes from the playoff simulation, later games from the rating model. They are estimates and move every week.

The small line beside each score is the team's win chance through the game, drawn on one scale for every game. The small number is total plays.

Line is the closing point spread for Georgia: a minus number means favored. A green check means the team covered it, by the number beside it. A red cross means it fell short by that much.
