Georgia is right back in the mix for a College Football Playoff berth as the pieces continue to come together for coach Kirby Smart since a Week 5 home loss to now-No. 4 Alabama.

Mississippi State football (5-4, 1-4 SEC) is taking on No. 5 Georgia (7-1, 5-1) at Davis Wade Stadium on Nov. 8 (11 a.m., ESPN).

Led by quarterback Bear Bachmeier, BYU is off to an 8-0 start to the season, which includes a perfect 5-0 record in Big 12 play.
