The No. 4 Bulldogs are sitting tied for first in the SEC with Kentucky with a 4-1 conference record but are coming off their first loss of the season, a 27-24 upset by Auburn on Oct. 17 in Athens.
Georgia (6-1) will have to wait until Oct. 31 to get back on the winning track.
"It doesn't shock me at all, guys, that we did not play our best," coach Kirby Smart said after the Auburn loss. "But it should not happen. And everybody wants to say, well, it was 'cause of this. It was 'cause of that, 'cause of their off week, 'cause of Alabama. Hey, at the end of the day, we ain't played our best game yet. And that's what we're in search of. That's my job to try to get them to do it."
No. Georgia has an open date on its schedule and is off on Saturday Oct. 24.
Georgia will play Florida on Saturday, Oct. 31 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 3:30 p.m. The game will be on ABC.
This week is the only week that Georgia does not have a game. It has five straight games next and could play in the SEC Championship game on Dec. 5 in Atlanta
The Gators also have an open date this week. Both teams in recent years have been off from games before the annual rivalry game.
