WEEK 9: SN's latest Top 50 player rankings
Our celebrity pickers are pretty close to the rivalry. Corey Brewer won back-to-back NCAA Tournament championships for Billy Donovan's Gators in 2006 and 2007. John Isner won the ITA All-American championship in singles in Fall 2005 and the NCAA doubles title in Spring 2005 at Georgia.
Both athletes are playing their respective sports right now - Isner is playing singles and doubles in an ATP tournament in Brasel, Switzerland, while Brewer scored five points and grabbed seven rebounds in Houston's season-opening loss to Denver on Wednesday night.
"Georgia wants revenge on last year's debacle," says Isner, who was in Jacksonville last season to watch Florida's 38-20 victory. "It was miserable."
Brewer has a positive vibe for his Gators.
"Georgia is slumping a bit, but I think they will put in a decent performance for this game," he says. "However, our strong defense should be able to slow them down without Nick Chubb. So I'm feeling good about this one.
"Georgia is one of our rivals I really can't stand, along with FSU, so we better win this."
