On Buck’s Beat Episode 164, Buck Belue dives into Georgia’s rise to No. 4 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings — and why that jump creates a brand-new postseason dilemma for Kirby Smart’s team.

With the Dawgs now positioned for a first-round bye, Georgia could be staring at an unprecedented 32-day layoff before their quarterfinal matchup. Buck explains why that kind of break is far from ideal, drawing on his own experience from Georgia’s 1980 national championship season.

In this episode, Buck breaks down:
🏈 Why he’s changed his mind on Georgia’s ideal path to the Playoff
🏈 Why the Dawgs should want to play in the SEC Championship Game
🏈 How Alabama, Texas A&M, and tiebreakers factor into Georgia’s chances
🏈 Why a month without a game can impact timing, speed, and execution
🏈 Kirby Smart’s youngest team yet — and why they’re peaking now
🏈 What last year’s Notre Dame loss revealed about entering the postseason banged up
🏈 What to expect against Charlotte and Georgia Tech before the brackets are set

Buck also revisits the challenges of navigating a long layoff ahead of a massive game — and why Georgia’s current roster may handle it differently.

If you’re a Georgia fan, this one is essential viewing. Buck lays out the stakes and the scenarios as the Dawgs prepare for the stretch run.
