National Championship Roundup of Predictions: Who Was Right, Who Was Wrong?

It's been nine days since the National Championship game. On January 10, several hours before kickoff, we rounded up predictions on that night’s game and some of them were good, others were not so much.

Sports Illustrated's staff is split down the middle for Georgia and Alabama. Colin Cowherd was proven wrong. Paul Finebaum is taking Alabama tonight. The Finebaum Show will be filled with callers from Georgia. Fred from Alabama is calling in. The show will air on Tuesday at 10 pm. It will feature Paul and his fans. They are excited about Alabama winning the championship. A few people voted for Alabama, but the majority voted Georgia, which is a good thing.

The FiveThirtyEight model gives Georgia a 55% chance of winning tonight's game in Indy. Steve Spurrier believes the Dawgs will lift the trophy tonight. Richard Sherman believes that the Tide will blow Georgia out again. TNT’s Charles Barkley guaranteed that Georgia would win the national championship tonight, but he also recently guaranteed the Atlanta Braves would also win World Series. Joey Hnath was in attendance for the Blackout Game in Athens. He was 15 rows up in the endzone where Chris Conley caught the tipped pass. He experienced the same heartbreak every Dawg fan did when backup quarterbacks defeated UGA twice in 2018.
