Georgia (8-2) at Auburn (5-5)

Last year, minutes before the game was to kickoff, the Georgia players peeled off their red jerseys and emerged onto the field in black, igniting a crowd that rallied behind coach Mark Richt's motivational ploy.

It worked, as Georgia romped to a 45-20 victory in Athens over Auburn.

This year, Auburn (5-5, 2-4 SEC West) hosts No. 13 Georgia (8-2, 5-2 SEC East). And while there is not talk of motivational ploys, the Tigers have not forgotten.

With a month-long losing streak over, Auburn prepares to finish the season with quite a challenge: the preseason No. 1 team, Georgia, followed by the current No. 1 team, Alabama.

At stake could be a bowl berth as well as the future of the coaching staff, which has come under fire for the way this season has played out.
