Georgia's defense is good but they were lucky OSUs stud WR got knocked out. It's funny how sports work sometimes as the same thing happened last year with Alabamas two stud WRs being injured.

Michigan at #7 scoring defense and #6 in Total Defense, including #5 in Passing Efficiency Defense. Didn't seem to help them too much.

The two pick sixes doomed Michigan. Duggans is a good QB but he's not been in a Championship game and Bennett has won one. On the other hand It's tough to repeat and nobody expected TCU to be there. I still think Georgia has the edge .

I get what you're saying but i don't call it luck. They delivered a big hit that knocked him out of the game.

That said, I was surprised Georgia didn't come out of man considering they weren't really getting much pass rush
