Georgia Bulldogs earn No. 2 seed in College Football Playoff bracket

Who will the Georgia Bulldogs play in the College Football Playoff bracket? Georgia got a good draw

The SEC champion Georgia Bulldogs are the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff bracket. Georgia will play the winner of the first-round game between the No. 10 seed Indiana Hoosiers and No. 7 seed Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Indiana and Notre Dame will play on Dec. 20 or Dec. 21.

Georgia will play in the playoff quarterfinal. UGA is expected to play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Year’s Day at 8:45 p.m. ET.

Georgia needs time to recover following their 22-19 SEC championship victory over the Texas Longhorns. Most notably, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck left the SEC championship with what appeared to be an elbow injury.

Georgia relied on back up quarterback Gunner Stockton in the SEC championship and will be able to give Stockton valuable practice reps if Beck is out.

If Georgia wins the in the quarterfinals, then UGA will play SMU, Penn State or Boise State in the semifinals. Georgia got a pretty good draw in the playoff bracket that appears to be more favorable than the No. 1 seed Oregon Ducks’ draw.

Ohio State’s fate revealed in final CFP rankings, bracket

How do you feel? #GoBucks

We finally know what seed the Ohio State football team will be, and who it will be playing in the new 12-team College Football Playoff. On Sunday, a day after the conference championship games were revealed, the Buckeyes were awarded the No. 8 seed and will play against No. 9 Tennessee.

That’s probably a little lower than most thought with Penn State’s loss to Oregon in the Big Ten Championship game and all the data points the Buckeyes had over the Nittany Lions, but it at least means that Ohio State will host a playoff game in the ‘Shoe, so that should be good news for all of Buckeye Nation.

If OSU were to win that matchup, it would go on to play a rematch with No. 1 seed Oregon where it’ll get a chance to make good on the heartbreaking loss in Eugene earlier this season.

The complete CFP seedings had Oregon (1), Georgia (2), Boise State (3), and Arizona State (4) as the four highest rated conference champions that receive first-round byes.

The rest of the seeding has No. 5 Notre Dame playing No. 12 Clemson, No. 6 seed Penn State playing No. 11 SMU, and No. 7 Notre Dame playing No. 10 Indiana. Alabama was — somewhat surprisingly — left out of the fray in favor of SMU.

We’ll have ton more on this as we react and analyze because it’s definitely something.
