The Dawgs and Rebels each threw for 186 yards in the game, but all was not equal on the ground, as Georgia dominated both lines of scrimmage and picked up 295 rushing yards compared to Ole Miss' 66 yards on the ground.Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Talyn Taylor (1) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Mississippi Rebels during the second half at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.Mandatory Credit: Petre Thomas-Imagn Images (Petre Thomas-Imagn Images)Perhaps the biggest stunner from Week 10 is that AP voters finally got things right, at least for the most part.Yes, they caught a break with the mostly chalk results and a lack of difficult decisions to make, but for as much as we love to pile it on when the poll is a disaster, we have to tip our cap on the rare occasion that the poll makes a lot of sense.Georgia may have a loss, unlike the two unbeatens of Utah and UCLA, but there is no reality where someone could watch what the Bulldogs did to Ole Miss on Saturday night and not tab them as the No.
1 team in the country.If anyone wants to waste energy arguing about how UCLA and Utah should both be ranked ahead of one-loss Notre Dame, they can have at it.Just like there isn't a world where Georgia shouldn't be ranked No.1, there also isn't a world where voters were going to put both Utah and UCLA ahead of the Fighting Irish after they knocked off Miami.Notre Dame couldn't stay put at No.
