Not sure, but that is where they are going. Not sure there is a big difference this year.

I'm looking forward to this matchup - these teams play somewhat similar styles. Georgia is more talented in a lot of places, but Michigan has better pass rushers and better quarterbacks, two positions important to winning football games.

I am looking forward to this as well.  UGA has not played Michigan since the 60's.  I hope Mich is the home team and wears the navy jerseys and maize pants. I have always loved that uniform along with those helmets.

UGA is lucky to get another chance after laying yet another egg against Saban.  I would love another chance at those guys.

Early line is UGA -7 1/2.

It isn't easy to beat or even hang with an SEC team when there is a NC on the line. The Wolverines are going to have to do it twice if they want to win it all.

Outside of LB, DT, and maybe TE, where? Because I am just not seeing it.

RB? Haskins is a work-horse, but Michigan has two RB's that are more talented than anything Georgia has, Corum and Edwards are both blazing fast. Corum or Edwards can hit a home-run and both are excellent pass catchers. I'd take Michigan's backs over Georgia's. Corum & Edwards have way more big-play capability and speed to burn than anyone Georgia has.

QB? Michigan, by a lot.

DE's? Michigan, by a lot.

DT? Georgia, by a lot. 

LB's? Georgia, by a good margin- but true frosh Junior Colson is going to be a 1st round pick when it's all said and done and Josh Ross & Mike Barrett are solid, heady vets. Michigan isn't elite here- but they have a pair of very solid vets and really promising freshman in Colson and Hill-Green. 

CB/S? Michigan, by a lot.

WR's? Again, Michigan has a lot more speed here. Roman Wilson can absolutely fly- he might be the fastest guy in the Big Ten, AJ Henning is a speed demon (even if he struggles catching), Sainstril is a nice slot-guy more quick than fast but he's capable of making plays. Cornelius Johnson might be the most slept on WR in the nation- kid has big-time talent and is a lot faster than he looks. Andrel Anthony is only a true frosh and like the 6th or 7th option on the team- but he's got a bright, bright future.

TE? Georgia has better TE's- that Bowers is a phenom- but Erick All and Luke Schoonmaker are no joke. 

OL? Michigan might have the best OL in the country.

Not seeing all this Georgia "talent". That "talent" is very overrated.

it's already dropped to -7. Whoever made that line is drunk. Georgia opened as 8.5 point favorites vs Bama, if I recall correctly.

Well I definitely don't agree that Michigan has a far better secondary, though they are solid. Recruitnik rankings favor the Dawgs.

Michigan has a far better secondary. Their secondary does not have busted zone coverages and get blow-torched in man like it's their jobs like Georgia's does. That alone makes them far better. Georgia's secondary sucks. Bad.

Recruitniks? Yeah, the rankings are fun to look at it- and it's great to have lots of highly rated recruits- but this game is still all about the lines of scrimmage and development. Recruit rankings matter- but only to a certain extent. Not the end all be all, and not how you judge how much talent a team has. You judge that by NFL draft picks and NFL draft mocks. Best player in this game by far wasn't a five star. Hutchinson wasn't even a top 100 recruit.

And you want to talk about recruitniks? Georgia is starting an unranked walk-on QB.

I mean, Georgia has been pretty strong on the back end all season. They aren't exactly getting lit up every game. You can't look at their worst game of the year and then decide that's who they are. If you are doing that, then compare Michigan's defense during the MSU game.

I think the Wolverines have a good chance in this game, after a noticeable improvement, from previous seasons. They seem to be playing their best, at the right time of year.

I am more disappointed in Georgia, than any program in recent memory. Is Kirby Smart (admittedly a great recruiter) the worst coach, in all of college football? How could a program, that gets dominated every, single year, by the same team (and arguably has done less historically, with more resources, than any other team), finally finding itself in possession of the exact tool needed to get this gorilla off its back, and still finds a way, to fail miserably? Georgia actually passed Ohio State on the blue-chip ratio this season, so they have no excuses, in terms of lack of talent. We all knew, the Alabama coaching staff, was going to scheme like hell, to find ways to overcome Georgia, but it’s like Kirby Smart was the only one totally surprised by this, and unable to make any meaningful adjustments (no plan B existed). The biggest fail imaginable, given the history of these two teams, and an unforgivable loss, of a golden opportunity. How often, do the Bulldogs, think the stars are going to magically align, this perfectly, for them to win a championship game? A special NCAA meeting needs to be held to prohibit Georgia from playing football anymore - it is just too great a waste of resources.
