Georgia moves up in polls ahead of LSU matchup

Georgia’s football game at LSU on Saturday will begin at 3:30 p.m. and be nationally televised by CBS, the Southeastern Conference said Sunday.

The game time had been up in the air while the SEC waited on CBS to decide whether to televise Georgia-LSU or Alabama-Tennessee this week. CBS chose Georgia-LSU after Georgia beat Vanderbilt and LSU beat South Carolina.

Georgia and LSU will enter the game ranked Nos. 9 and 11 in the country, respectively.

Georgia (6-1, 3-1 SEC) moved up from No. 10 to No. 9 in this week’s Associated Press poll. Defending national champion LSU (5-1, 3-1 SEC) moved up from No. 13 to No. 11.

The game will be the first of four in a row away from Sanford Stadium for the Bulldogs. They play Florida in Jacksonville on Nov. 1, at Kentucky on Nov. 8 and at Auburn on Nov. 15. Georgia’s only remaining game this season in Athens is Nov. 29 against Georgia Tech.

Saturday’s Alabama-at-Tennessee game will begin at 7:45 p.m. and be televised by ESPN, the SEC said.
