Notre Dame vs. Georgia: How to watch College Football Playoff quarterfinal, TV channel, streaming, start time & stats
Rusty Gorelick
The No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-1) head to New Orleans to take on the SEC Champion No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs (11-2) in the Sugar Bowl in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
Georgia earned itself a first-round bye as a result of being one of the four best conference championship-winning teams, per the CFP selection committee. The Bulldogs will be without starting QB Carson Beck after he suffered an elbow injury in the SEC Championship win over Texas.
Notre Dame suffered arguably the worst loss of any CFP team way back in Week 2, falling 16-14 to Northern Illinois, but they haven't missed a beat ever since and most recently beat Indiana 27-17 in the first round of the Playoff.
