Winning a national title is the most prominent goal for Georgia at the moment and they know better than anyone recently how much a title does for a program. However, the Sugar Bowl itself has major implications for the future of Georgia's program.

Georgia football is nearing the end of their preparations in Athens for Wednesday’s Sugar Bowl. The Bulldogs practiced Friday afternoon, focusing on their College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Bulldogs set to travel to New Orleans on Sunday.

Georgia's defense has been inconsistent this season, so it will be important for the unit to bring its best against the Irish.
