The Peach Bowl has been played for more than five decades, but for the third time, the game will serve as a College Football Playoff semifinal on New Year's Eve.
The last Peach Bowl playoff game was historic. LSU's Joe Burrow threw seven touchdown passes in the first half alone in a rout of No. 4 Oklahoma that put the Tigers within a win of a national championship. Will the eventual champion run through Atlanta again this time around?
As expected, Georgia finished the season as the No. 1 team, meaning the Bulldogs had geographic preference for which semifinal location they'd like to play. As such, they will square off on their home turf provided by Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. But who do they play?
Here's everything you need to know about the long-running Peach Bowl, including the full schedule and betting odds.
