Georgia Bulldogs, neutral site

Yes, I know I’m technically cheating, but Michigan football hasn’t played Georgia in 56 years. To me, that’s almost like they’ve never played before. This would qualify for another neutral-site game since it is very hard to get SEC teams to come and play up North.

Georgia has the 13th best winning percentage of all time, and the Bulldogs have historically been a running back factory.

Herschel Walker, Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, Knowshon Moreno, D’Andre Swift, etc, have all come through the Georgia Bulldog program. Out of all of the programs, I would want Michigan to beat that I listed so far, Georgia has to be the biggest.

The reasoning is simple: the SEC tries to act all big and bad (which they are more often than not) and it would be great to beat up a team in the “big and bad” conference.

Georgia is usually the second-most feared program in the SEC behind Alabama. Georgia also has had some very good defenses in the past.

A neutral-site game like this one would probably be more defense-oriented, although a lot of points would still be scored. Basically, I feel if Michigan could stop the run in this game, they have a really good shot at winning this game. Georgia isn’t really known for producing high-quality quarterbacks overall (excluding Matthew Stafford).
