Georgia football winners and losers from the final week of 2020 season

Winner: The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl

This year, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl was set to host the Group of 5 champion. Usually, that means for a less interesting bowl game, just given the power dynamics of the sport. And that likely means a less than motivated Power 5 team.

While Georgia enters this game with losses against Alabama and Florida, the Bulldogs were a better team after JT Daniels became the team’s starting quarterback. Cincinnati ranks in the top-10 in both scoring defense and total defense.  This game will give Daniels and the Georgia offense to impress the national media once again and set things up for a promising 2021 season.
