Taking MICHIGAN STATE here. I liked this team all year. These teams statistically are about the same. Georgia rushes a little bit better. I really don't like to fade SEC teams, especially off a beating that Auburn laid on my Virginia play. Still, looking at this Bulldog schedule, they didn't beat any of the top teams. The 3 above average teams they played, LSU, South Carolina and Boise all beat Georgia. And they gave up some big points. 35 to Boise, 45 to South Carolina and 42 to LSU. Sparty lost early to ND. But their other 2 losses at Nebraska where they were off a hail-mary win over Wiscy which was on the heels of beating both Michigan and Ohio State. I attribute that 24-3 loss to some fatigue. They then lost the 1st Big Ten Championship Game 42-39 in rough fashion. I think next year Georgia will be a Top 10 team. But here, they are just another middle of the pack squad. 4* MICHIGAN STATE
