Home field advantage is a massive thing in college football. That is one reason why Georgia has been so dominant over the last 10 years because they hardly ever lose at home in front of their fans.
But home field advantage comes to end once postseason play begins. The 12-team era of the College Football Playoff did introduce home playoff games in the first round, but Georgia will not benefit from that this season. They will travel to a neutral field in New Orleans to take on Ole Miss in the CFP quarterfinals at the Sugar Bowl.
Since both teams are relatively local to New Orleans it is a safe assumption that the crowd will be pretty evenly split. Locked On Ole Miss podcaster Steven Willis however thinks Ole Miss fans are going to dominate the atmosphere at the Sugar Bowl.

Ole Miss super fan thinks the Rebels fans will dominate the Sugar Bowl
There is a realistic chance this prediction actually comes true. This is the first time that Ole Miss has ever made the playoff, so this is their fans first chance to witness what a true playoff atmosphere looks like. Sure they did play a first round game last week, but that game was played in their own stadium so it wasn't a true playoff atmosphere.
This opportunity to cheer on their team in a neutral setting for the first time in the playoff era will be too difficult for many of their fans to pass up. Georgia however has been one of the teams to make the playoff the most since it began in 2014, so this is nothing new to them. They in fact may decide to skip this game hoping to attend the semifinals or National Championship game if Georgia makes it that far.
Even if there are a few more Ole Miss fans though it won't be enough to make a difference. This game will be a pretty even split which will make the environment that much more enjoyable for both teams and fanbases.
