Georgia Faces Cincinnati in Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl
The first projections had the Georgia Bulldogs headed for a Chick-Fil-A Peach-Bowl bid, and the selection committee announced the predictions were true. Georgia is headed to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to play the Cincinnati Bearcats. The game is part of the New Years Six Bowl series and will be played on New Year’s Day.
While the Bulldog 2020 seniors won’t get another game in Sanford Stadium, they now will at least play one more time in Atlanta. While it won’t be the same, they will still be honored before the game and have their hometown Georgia friends and family there to cheer them on.
The Bearcats are part of the America Athletic Conference and on Saturday captured their conference championship. Though Cincinnati did not play anyone of real national credibility, they are undefeated and should challenge the Bulldogs.
At the start of the pandemic, no one was even sure if we there would be a college football season, so for this team to have no outbreaks, abide by protocol constantly, and make it to this point in the season is remarkable. It is a credit to everyone in the organization, from head coach Kirby Smart to the players who bought into the system. They now deservedly get rewarded with another chance to play on a national stage in the great state of Georgia.
