ESPN's College GameDay will be in Athens on Saturday for a Top-10 SEC showdown between the Ole Miss Rebels and Georgia Bulldogs with the stage set for a critical Week 8 matchup.

Lane Kiffin and the No. 5 ranked Rebels will once again square off against a Top-10 opponent following the program's Week 5 victory over the LSU Tigers.

After navigating a trio of SEC games across the first seven weeks of the season, Kiffin and Co. enter Week 8 with an unblemished record, but the competition-level will rise once again this Saturday against Kirby Smart's crew.

"I think our guys are really excited for this opportunity. This isn’t coach-speak, it’s facts, this is the elite program in college football with the top coach [Kirby Smart] in college football," Kiffin said.

"Continues to win at an unbelievable rate, especially nowadays with how challenging it is with our conference and NIL. Shoot, the last five years they’re 28-1 at home with their last loss just coming to Alabama and 51-3 overall. Two Alabama regular-season losses and then our Ole Miss game [last year]."

Rece Davis Chimes In: Home Team Takes the Win

“DJ, our producer, said, ‘Don’t pick the Dogs. The last time everybody picked the Dogs, the Dogs lost. I can’t take it anymore. He’s begging us to pick Ole Miss.’ On Saturday, I’ll have a little chicken, I’ll have a little drink, I’ll look at all the girls, and I’ll give one or two a wink. I’ve been waiting since last Saturday to see another one beat. Friends, it’s time once again to let the big dog eat. I’ll take Georgia.”
