Georgia is 44-1 in its closing 45 video games. It’s going to take a enormous effort to overcome the Dawgs this season. Georgia Tech does not determine to provide a lot resistance this week, however the SEC Championship Game in opposition to Alabama must be a vintage.
Let’s save that dialog — for now. If the CFP Selection Committee does not understand the statement made right here, they do not deserve their votes this week.Â
