Ranking 2022-23 College Football Playoff, NY6 bowls by watchability
2. Peach Bowl (Georgia vs. Ohio State)
I expect most fans will have this as the most interesting game of the New Year’s Six bowls, and I chose to have it slotted as the second most interesting bowl game. From a talent perspective, you may not find two teams with more players getting drafted this upcoming spring.
Ohio State may be one of the better No. 4 seeds we’ve seen make this playoff. Behind potential No. 1 pick in quarterback CJ Stroud, and potential Biletnikoff Award winner Marvin Harrison Jr., the Buckeyes have the No. 2 ranked offense in the country, averaging nearly 45 points per game.
As great as Ohio State’s offense is, Georgia’s defense is just as impressive. Led by too many NFL prospects to count (Jalen Carter is in consideration for the No. 1 pick), the Bulldogs have allowed less than 13 points per game.
The offense is no slouch either as, under the leadership of the national championship quarterback and Heisman finalist Stetson Bennett, the Bulldogs are averaging nearly 40 points per game.
This game looked like a national championship matchup for most of the season, yet we’re getting this matchup one game early.
I am most excited about all the talent and potential NFL stars we’re going to witness, but my biggest intrigue is whether OSU can score enough to stay with Georgia. Let’s be honest, this Georgia team may be better than last year’s, and just may be an all-timer of a squad.
Considering that this game is in Atlanta, and the vibes are somewhat low in Columbus after their brutal loss against Michigan, my biggest question is whether Ohio State can stay within a score of Georgia as the game moves along into the second half.
Nevertheless, enjoy these potential final games or games from great college football players.
