Three UGA transfers set to play in College Football Playoff

The Georgia Bulldogs lost a significant amount of talent to the transfer portal during last offseason. Former Bulldogs on the Alabama Crimson Tide burned Georgia on a couple of massive plays in the SEC championship to help vault Alabama into the College Football Playoff.

Two former Bulldogs, Alabama linebacker Trezem Marshall and Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, have an opportunity to win three consecutive national championships.

We don’t imagine too many Georgia fans will be cheering for No. 4 Alabama in the College Football Playoff. Jermaine Burton and Trezmen Marshall do play a rather unlikable No. 1 Michigan team, so some Georgia fans may cheer for the Crimson Tide. Alabama plays Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

Game time: 5:00 p.m. ET on Jan. 1
