College GameDay also attended the Georgia-Tennessee game on Nov. 5 in Athens, Georgia.

Georgia is the No. 1 seed in the CFP. Ohio State is the No. 4 seed. Both teams are coming off concerning defensive performances. However, Georgia’s defense has been more consistent than Ohio State’s defense.

The Buckeyes do have a chance to exploit Georgia’s passing defense. Ohio State has excellent receivers and a talented quarterback in C.J. Stroud, who finished third in the Heisman voting.

Georgia enters the CFP semifinals with a 13-0 record. The Bulldogs only played in a few close games this season. This year, Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett has been excellent in Georgia’s two other games in Atlanta.

The Georgia-Ohio State winner will play the winner of Michigan-TCU in the national championship game.
