Thanks to a big win over the Ole Miss Rebels, the Georgia Bulldogs are in great shape. Are they a lock to make the dance? That would be a no. However, if they can do five things in particular, they will be in great shape heading into Selection Sunday.

Losing to Missouri or Auburn would be devastating this late in the year. Simply put, the Bulldogs just need to take care of business against those two weaker opponents.

Georgia may have two cupcakes left on the schedule, but it also still has to play the best team in college basketball. Kentucky has managed to stay undefeated up until this point.

Although the Bulldogs are on the right side of the bubble, if conference favorites start going down, and non-bubble teams (teams that have no shot of earning an at-large bid, in this case) start winning conference tournaments, things could go south for Georgia in a hurry. With that said, many favorites would have to go down for this to really affect the Bulldogs. Plus, they would have to have a terrible finish down the stretch.
