Despite boasting an impressive 11-1 record in the regular season, the Fighting Irish were only awarded the number five seed by the selection committee. But the Irish were quickly able to show that they belonged with the top teams in College Football. They had a convincing win in the first round of the College Football Playoff, defeating the Indiana Hoosiers by a score of 17-27.
It has been a rollercoaster season for the Georgia Bulldogs. A loss early in the season to the Alabama Crimson Tide, had some thinking that the Bulldogs weren’t quite ready to take the reigns in the SEC. But the Bulldogs proved that they were ready to step up finishing 6-2 in a loaded SEC with an overall record of 11-2. Their strength of schedule was among the toughest in college football, playing six games against ranked opponents.
The Bulldogs come in as the slight favorite in this matchup. They are favored by 2.5 points over the Fighting Irish. Oddsmakers have this one penned as a low-scoring affair with the over/under marked at 44.5 points.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
