I'll be honest with this, coming from the perspective of an LSU fan that enjoyed the past two decades:

If I were a Georgia fan, I'd be nervous facing this LSU squad (if things play out to it being 12-0 UGA vs 10-2 LSU).

UGA coming off a natty, and rolling this year, kinda feeling like they've been anointed. Lots of UGA fans keep bringing up the big loss to Tenn, but that's dangerous talk. That's the type of shite known as rat poison, it can get into players' heads that it will be a cakewalk.

This LSU team has a bit of 2018 feel to it; that year we had two mirror-image elite teams to face. Bama came in and smoked LSU, but it didn't mean we couldn't compete, it meant we weren't prepared to compete. LSU learned in that game what it would take... a couple weeks later came and played to that level, and whipped UGA.
I'd say the Tennessee game was a similar test that we failed, and LSU didn't pout, they raised their game and dropped the hammer on Fla and Ole Miss, then came out and swung toe-to-toe with Bama and won. IF LSU can finish out the season with wins, they will be damn dangerous and confident, and also pretty loose and relaxed. Just getting to Atlanta means the season was a W, the game will be gravy.
LSU will basically have a mid-major's attitude, but with Top 5 talent.

You don't want to face a team like that. Not saying LSU is a lock to win (UGA should still take it), but that's the type of matchup where LSU has everything to win and nothing to lose. And if it is close late, that's where it gets real dangerous.

And LSU does have talent; you don't want to face Jayden Daniels late when he has a chance to win. He sometimes looks off, and he ain't a prototype NFL QB, but he is basically the perfect college QB- can make the passes, but more importantly, can look like an elite WR in space when he decides to take off. Dude outruns defenders- cornerbacks, even- with angles on him. He's like Alvin Kamara with an arm. You don't prepare for that in practice.
