Meet the teams
The Georgia Bulldogs enter Atlanta as the number-one-ranked team in the country with a perfect 13-0 record. In their last game, Georgia flexed their dominance as they destroyed LSU, 50-30, in the SEC Championship Game. For Georgia to win its second-straight championship, it will need to go through the second-best team in the Big Ten, and then the best team in the Big Ten or Big 12.
After getting embarrassed by Michigan in the final game of the regular season, Ohio State, 11-1, snuck into the College Football Playoff after USC’s loss in the Pac-12 Championship. However, Ryan Day’s Buckeyes find themselves back in the CFP for the third time in four years. For Ohio State to keep it close, quarterback C.J. Stroud will need his Superman cape and throw for at least 300 yards and multiple touchdowns to keep pace with Georgia.
