ATLANTA, GA (AP) -- ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia knows just about everyone is looking past this game, figuring it's nothing more than a mere inconvenience for top-ranked LSU on the way to playing for the national championship.

The Bulldogs would love to pull a shocker.

No. 12 Georgia (10-2) is on quite a roll heading into next Saturday's Southeastern Conference championship, winning 10 straight since starting the season with losses to Boise State and South Carolina. Still, outside of those wearing red and black, no one gives the Bulldogs much of a chance against the mighty Tigers (12-0).

That's OK with defensive back (and occasional running back) Branden Smith, who says Georgia has felt like an underdog ever since that 0-2 start. Now, the team is riding its longest winning streak within a season since 1982.
