Georgia vs Ohio State College Football Playoff Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, What’s Going To Happen

Ohio State has the talent, the will, the attitude, and the underdog status to have almost all the pressure off – at least as much as reasonably possible in a game like this.

There’s a reason there hasn’t been a repeat College Football Playoff champion.

Whether it was 2016 Clemson the year after losing to Alabama for the national title, or 2018 Alabama the year after losing to Clemson in the title game, or Georgia last year after losing to Bama in the SEC Championship, there’s something to be said for having that little extra juice in a game of this level.

That extra something doesn’t work for mere mortal programs – and we’ll see how this works for Michigan – but it sure as shoot was enough to take Ohio State to a whole other level when it got its shot at Clemson in the 2020 College Football Playoff after losing the year before.

Ohio State will be spectacular enough to be in this throughout, but Georgia’s ruthless efficiency will start to take over in the second half.

The Bulldogs lines will start to dominate – sort of like the Michigan lines were able to against the Buckeyes – Stetson Bennett will lead two late scoring drives, and of course, because it’s Ohio State, there will be one questionable call for the perpetually-aggrieved program to use as motivation for the next nine months.

Georgia will win, but it sure as shoot won’t be easy.
