Rose Bowl 100%. The amount of NFL talent on both teams was unreal.

Dont get me wrong, beating THE media darlings in the Peach was still awesome.

Brandon Adams said something not long after the "2nd and 26" game I think we can all agree with. He said that years down the road, even if we win 2 or 3 NCs, this 2017 season will still be remembered for how fun and exciting it was. And it really was.

The Rose Bowl win was so exciting because the entire 2017 season seemed like magic. The Peach Bowl win was more satisfying (to me) because it validated our 2021 season, and we struggled from behind twice to take the lead in the last minute. A win next Monday night and we will rightfully take our place as the team everyone has to beat to win an NC.

No takers on the peach bowl yet - interesting


I'll pick the Peach Bowl.

At the end of the Rose Bowl, I felt relief. This was UGA's first CFP experience and the biggest game of my lifetime. After years of coming up short, the Dawgs won a shootout and made it to the Natty. That feeling will never be topped.

At the end of the Peach Bowl, I felt disbelief. Objectively one of the most exciting games I've ever seen, and maybe the wildest and most improbable comeback in UGA history. The timing of the missed kick ("Midnight Miracle") just adds to the legend.

That's really tough for me to decide. Both were special in their own right. The Rose Bowl was our first playoff appearance and it seemed like the doors would be blown off before the long FG to close out the first half by Hot Rod. That blocked FG was epic.

The Peach Bowl had several key moments. The shootout comeback for the largest margin in CFP history; the 4th down 'Neo' by Bowers; the last-second timeout by Smart; the ugly miss by OSU right at midnight on the new year. A lot of cool stuff went down that night that will be remembered by Dawg fans for a long time.

I might have to lean to the Peach Bowl right now.

He has never made a 50+ yard FG in his career.

And he barely made the 48 yarder earlier in the game.

He BARELY made the 48 yarder. Here's a video of Pat McAfee catching ball after it goes through the uprights.


Which emphasizes how critical that crappy 2nd down sack spot was that should have been 3 yards further back.

I was at both of them and it’s the Rose Bowl and in my opinion it’s not even close. The bowl history alone plus the overtime aspect with the blocked kick.

This one for me… I never believed more (during a game) than I did with Stet in the 4th. Something hit me… and I knew it was meant to be. Stet gives me that Greene comfort zone. I like it tbh.

I hope we get better at actual contact behind the line, rather than simply pursuing ghr QB in penetration. That deficiency of this team has had me pulling my hair out.

I think some of that is just based on the QBs we've faced. For instance Bo Nix and that guy at AU, we KNEW those guys were destined to take off quickly and I feel like we did really well at containing them and not letting htem hurt us wiht their legs.

Stroud running was not in the gameplan. Even broswing OSu boards after the game just about everyone to a man was like "where has that been his whole career!?" He's obviously athletic enough to be able to, but his entire career up to that game he never really had. With that in mind we weren't going to game plan speicfically to try to bottle him in.

There isn't a defensive staff in america I trust more than our guys so I feel pretty good that they'll have a plan for duggan.
