Ohio State meanwhile is coming off a loss in its most recent game against Michigan. But the Buckeyes did win all 11 of their previous games by double digits.

Georgia is a slight favorite in the game, by the line has moved in Ohio State’s direction as Georgia is a 5.5-point favorite. The Bulldogs understand why they are expected to win the game and are not ducking those expectations.

We embrace that,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “The standards that are created are created through the players that play there, and we’ve had a really good leadership kind of over the last six, seven years, and they’ve created a standard for the younger players to emulate, and that’s going on now.”
