It’s a reality now. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to play the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl for the right to move on to the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. It’s been a long road for Notre Dame, but they are pretty much in the exact spot many of us had them back in August.
Facing Georgia, however, wasn’t the matchup we predicted... but it’s fine. The SEC Champions are a flawed football team — just like every team in the country this season. There is no Frankenstein’s monster out there, but that doesn’t mean they’re Igor either.
