Georgia faces Notre Dame in College Football Playoff quarterfinal at Sugar Bowl

Georgia is set to face Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day.

Despite this setback, Notre Dame's defense remains strong, ranking third in the nation for points allowed per game. Georgia has won all three previous matchups against Notre Dame, with each game decided by one score. The upcoming game is anticipated to be closely contested, with a low point total expected.
