The final quarterfinal matchup of the 2024-25 College Football Playoff features two of the most iconic programs in college football history, as SEC champion (2) Georgia takes on (7) Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
Notre Dame reached the second round thanks to a 27-17 win against Indiana that was much more lopsided than the final score indicates. The Fighting Irish led 27-3 with less than five minutes remaining before a late flurry of Hoosiers points made the score look much closer than the game actually was. Quarterback Riley Leonard was effective, and the defense was stifling, though the win came at a cost as the team lost starting defensive lineman Rylie Mills for the rest of the season to injury.
Georgia begins its College Football Playoff campaign in the quarterfinal matchup, having earned a bye as the SEC champion. However, it has injury concerns of its own, with confirmation that starting quarterback Carson Beck is out for the year after suffering an elbow injury in the SEC Championship Game win against Texas. Gunner Stockton is set to make his first career start in the Sugar Bowl against a feisty Notre Dame defense.
Georgia and Notre Dame are synonymous with college football at the highest levels, but this will be just the fourth meeting between the two programs. The Bulldogs have claimed all three previous matchups, including a 17-10 win in the Sugar Bowl that sealed a national championship and victories in both ends of a home-and-home series in 2017 (in South Bend) and 2019 (in Athens).
