The final bowl game today is the 2019 Sugar Bowl featuring the #15 Texas Longhorns against the #5 Georgia Bulldogs.
Both of these teams were the runners-up in their respective conference championship games. The Longhorns lost the Big 12 Championship Game to Oklahoma, 39-27, while Georgia lost the SEC Championship Game to Alabama, 35-28.
Because of the Sugar Bowl’s conference tie-ins with the SEC and the Big 12 and the fact that both conference champs were selected for the College Football Playoff, the conference runners up get to play in tonight’s game.
