3 takeaways from Georgia's SEC Championship win over No. 2 Texas

3. College Football Playoff Impact

While winning the SEC Championship should be a good enough reward for winning this game, arguably the most important reason was so Georgia could get the extra rest they desperately need before the College Football Playoff.

If UGA had lost this game, they would have only gotten two weeks off before their first round CFP game. However, now that Georgia beat Texas, the Bulldogs won't have to play again until their quarterfinal matchup on New Year's Day.

That amount of rest will allow Georgia to finally get extremely healthy, which is something that has been a major struggle for most of the season. It also will give Georgia an advantage over whoever their opponent ends up being because they will have played a game about 10 days before this quarterfinal matchup, so the advantage definitely goes to the Bulldogs here.

There are clearly countless reasons why winning this game was such a big deal, but Georgia's position in the CFP is arguably the most important as the biggest goal every season is to win a National Championship, and this Georgia team looks like they are more than capable of doing so.
