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.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are preparing to take on the SEC Champion Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl for a chance to move on to the semifinals in the college football playoff. While the weather played a big part in the story surrounding Notre Dame’s win over the Indiana Hoosiers — as well as the other three first round games — it will likely never be mentioned this week.
