2022 NFL Draft Prospects To Watch: Georgia vs. Michigan

Which 2022 NFL Draft prospects and matchups should you watch as Georgia takes on Michigan in the College Football Playoff?

It’s been what feels like a long time, but we finally have meaningful college football back, as the College Football Playoff is set to take place on New Year’s Eve. The Alabama Crimson Tide and Cincinnati Bearcats face off first, and the second game of the night will feature the Georgia Bulldogs and Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan’s road to the playoff was a year of firsts. Despite losing in tough fashion at Michigan State, Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines did enough to set up a pseudo-playoff game against Ohio State for a shot to go to the Big Ten title game. Michigan finally prevailed, getting the monkey off the back for Harbaugh. They dominated Iowa to win the conference title and sit ready for their first crack at the playoff.
