The Samuel M'Pemba commitment & Georgia–Ohio State CFP Show
The Dawgs just keep winning with their huge commitment from 5-star EDGE Samuel M’Pemba. That, of course, followed up Georgia’s SEC Championship victory over LSU, and the knowledge of their CFP fate.
The almighty committee’s CFP Rankings determined it would be #1 Dawgs and #4 Ohio State in the Peach Bowl for yet another Mercedes-Benz Stadium matchup.
After starting the year at the house that Arthur Blank built against Pac-12 Oregon in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff, and that 50-30 sprint against LSU, Georgia will face its third different conference matchup there in as many games this season.
Now, Kirby Smart and his Dawgs have a chance to add the Big-10 Infinity stone to their gauntlet of domination on the season.
It was a monstrous weekend for Georgia football, which made for some tremendous conversation on our Sunday Night Live edition of The Georgia Show (YouTube / Apple / Spotify).
The Dawgs are putting a lot of smiles on a lot of faces in a lot of different ways right now. We hope you’ll give our production a chance to do the same.
Samuel M’Pemba may be the biggest win of the weekend
I don’t pretend to be a recruiting expert.
That’s what Jake Reuse joins the show to discuss. But even I knew that Georgia had to get a guy like Samuel M’Pemba to truly elevate this 2023 class.
Georgia still trails Alabama in the ’23 rankings right now, and it may ultimately end up that way. Say what you will about Nick Saban’s dynasty coming to a close – he can still get after it.
Regardless of how it all shakes out, Georgia added one of many crown jewels to an already loaded class.
You won’t want to miss our analysis into what he brings, and what it means for Georgia down the road.
One last SEC Championship after sleeping on it for a few hours
Look, the SEC Championship had a lot to unpack.
Jake Rowe and I did it right after the game as The Mercedes-Benz Stadium crew cleaned up the confetti and flipped the Benz from SEC-ready to Atlanta Falcons-gameday-ready.
The Falcons, apparently, did not get the memo.
Nevertheless, the cleanup effort put Rowe in a trance:
We don’t understand how that net made it in that barrel. But by now, we all know how the game was won.
You know Stetson Bennett balled out, and we heard your concerns about how Kelee Ringo struggled. This win, like so many this season, had its ups and downs.
And just like the other 12, this victory is one to savor regardless of what happens in the College Football playoff.
There’s plenty where that came from in our convo from Sunday night, including this gem about Georgia’s two-point conversion play with AD Mitchell and Darnell Washington:
You’ll like the early Georgia-Ohio State CFP confidence, if you’re a Dawg
It’s really early in the timeline of this Bulldogs vs. Buckeyes Peach Bowl semifinal.
That didn’t keep us from taking a look at what you can expect from a Dawgs standpoint. Yes, Ohio State brings the best wide receiver crew in the country to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
And yes, Georgia’s defense has a lot to fix to make sure that stays in check.
Still, these Dawgs are the best team in the country.
There’s reason to feel good on the injury front, which we also address on the show.
Georgia should win.
And we’ll keep telling you all the reasons why each time we meet on The Georgia Show. We appreciate y’all joining us in the comments and reviews section each week.
This road goes on for at least one more game, and the party never ends.
