My read from last week

Georgia destroyed Arkansas, but early on it felt as much like Arkansas playing horrid football as Georgia playing especially well. Opponent quality still matters when carrying that result forward.

Matchup analysis

Oklahoma’s defense kept New Mexico out of the end zone, but its own rushing production and turnovers left little margin. Georgia’s control of Arkansas on the ground is directly relevant: Oklahoma needs to avoid an early deficit that makes it one-dimensional. The Sooners’ defensive showing supports resistance, not an assumption they can keep gifting possessions and remain close.
