A few days from now, college football will crown a new national champion. Of course, regardless of the outcome, the SEC will claim another national title as Alabama and Georgia are set to face off in the fourth Playoff finale.
New desk editor Michael Bratton ( @MichaelWBratton ) and senior national columnist Connor O’Gara ( @cjogarac ) give their take on the upcoming title game as they pick against the spread.
Michael : I’ve been going back and forth on this pick since Monday night. I was initially leaning toward Alabama’s overall experience being the deciding factor in my decision, as the Tide have played in the last two National Championship Games and the more experienced quarterback, but I’ve decided to flip back the other way and pick Georgia to win this game.
Putting experience aside, I actually think Jake Fromm is a better quarterback than Jalen Hurts. I don’t expect Georgia to have nearly as much success in this game as they had against Oklahoma, the Sooners defense is a joke, but I think they’ll do enough to secure a close win. While I did lose some respect for Georgia’s defense following their Semifinal performance, I believe they have the players necessary to hold this Alabama offense below 21 points.
The best chance for Alabama to win this game is to come out and dominate the line of scrimmage for four quarters. Judging by recent performances dating back to the Iron Bowl, I’m not sure they are capable of managing that goal against UGA. Ever since Nick Chubb and Sony Michel announced their return, this Georgia team feels like a team of destiny. Should Georgia win, I think it will be the tipping point that leads to the demise of Alabama’s SEC reign with the Dawgs seizing the throne as the league’s most dominant force heading into 2018.
Connor : I know I shouldn’t do it, but I’m going to. All year, I felt that Georgia was the best team in the country. From top to bottom, I felt like the Dawgs were the most balanced, most dynamic team in America. Even against Alabama, I think we get a good reminder of that.
Yes, I understand that Nick Saban is 11-0 against his former assistants. What suggests that Kirby Smart will be different? Well, his team is different. None of those previous assistants had the talent and coaching that Georgia does. That was evident when the Dawgs rallied back from a 31-14 deficit against the nation’s most potent offense. That was another example of why Georgia can win any kind of game.
I think this game winds up being somewhere in between what the Sugar Bowl was and what the Rose Bowl was. In other words, I don’t think we see a shootout, nor do I think we see a defensive slugfest. Both of these coaches will make the right adjustments at half to prevent one side from being completely dominated.
All signs point to this one point a down-to-the-wire thriller just like the last two title games. I know it’s not a popular pick, but I’ll take the Dawgs not only to cover, but to win on a late Rodrigo Blankenship field goal.
