ESPN “College GameDay” will be at the Peach Bowl on Dec. 31 for the Georgia-Ohio State matchup in the College Football Playoff semifinals. GameDay will run from 9 a.m. until noon ET.
The Georgia-Ohio State game kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on New Year’s Eve. This will mark the second consecutive season Georgia has played in the late game of the College Football Playoff on New Year’s Eve.
“College GameDay” also was present for the Georgia-Tennessee game on Nov. 5 in Athens, Georgia.
Georgia is the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Ohio State is the No. 4 seed. Both teams are coming off concerning defensive performances. However, Georgia’s defense has been more consistent than Ohio State’s.
The Buckeyes have a chance to exploit Georgia’s passing defense. Ohio State has excellent receivers and a talented quarterback, C.J. Stroud, who finished third in the Heisman voting.
Georgia enters the semifinals 13-0. The Bulldogs played in only a few close games this season. This year, Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett has been excellent in Georgia’s two other games in Atlanta.
The Georgia-Ohio State winner will play the winner of Michigan-TCU in the national championship game in Los Angeles on Jan. 9.
