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.

Georgia has played absolutely no one all year. Who did they play that could remotely challenge their secondary at all this year? Oh yeah, no one. Don't believe me? Go take a look at their schedule and then tell me if you didn't vomit in your mouth.

Michigan's defense had a 4th QTR collapse vs Sparty in a game they were controlling and SHOULD'VE WON and they lost by 4 points. No question about it. But it wasn't their pass defense getting torched all game long. They couldn't stop Kenneth Walker III ON THE ROAD in a hostile environment in a rivalry game. Dude ran buck-wild on them. Georgia does not have any RB's on their roster remotely as good as KW3 nor did they play a single RB all-year even remotely close to KW3. Michigan did not get blown off the field in that one. They lost by 4 points on the road in a rivalry game- after arguably the best RB in the country went nuts on them.

Georgia played the ONE actual team they played all year- in what was basically a home game for them in Atlanta- and they got blow-torched.

I like Michigan to win.  

Both teams will get some stops, but as games wear on, the QB who can make a tough throw or scramble, and keeps his own teams defense off the field, is a big advantage.  Over time, the team that has more or longer  “ at bats” on offense, will begin to take over and tire the other defense out.  I like McNamara over Stetson.

As far as RBs, both teams are loaded there, so hard to give the advantage. Whichever team possesses the ball longer has an O-line and RBs to wear the other team down.

As far as DBs, Georgia has been stellar all year, until yesterday.  Michigan has been pretty good too, but they have the huge advantage of those two ELITE DEs.  On the same team, I would give the nod to the Georgia guys, but that’s not how it works.  The Michigan DBs are perfect for the short time window allowed for opposing QBs. 


all in, I think Michigan will get more stops in the second half, by making Georgia one Dimensional. Georgia will do the same, but Michigan will have better answers in the passing game.

I absolutely think it will be a close game and that Georgia could win- it's a pick 'em game.

My whole point is- Georgia is NOT as good as they've been hyped up to be, and they are not as talented as people said they were. They just are not. There is no dominant team out there this year. Don't see an early 2000's Miami or USC squad out there and this is not one of Bama's typical overwhelmingly talented teams. This year is ripe for the taking. Georgia should not be a favorite in this game by 8 points. That is absurd and disrespectful to Michigan. Hope it has that locker rooms attention. It should be a pick-em game with either team getting 2-3 points. Could see the line at Michigan -2 or -3 or even Georgia -2 or -3. It's a pick 'em game.

I feel that motivation might be a factor for Georgia

that beating from Bama may linger

their reward for beating Michigan???  another beating from Bama

how did Michigan lose to Sparty?

The refs of course, same way they lose to everyone else. 

The only time UGA made the playoff before they also were joined by Alabama.  They beat OU in OT only to lose to Bama in heartbraking fashion.  I was in Hawaii watching that one.  I'm going to Hawaii Friday, but will be in Orlando for this one (Micghigan game).  

Michigan was obviously very impressive in beating Ohio State.  I didn't see that coming either.

that was the game that Saban benched Hurts and went with Tua, right?
