ATLANTA — Joe Burrow and the LSU offense proved to be too much for Georgia. The No. 4 Bulldogs fell in the SEC Championship Saturday night to No. 2 Tigers, 37-10.

Georgia will now have to wait and learn which bowl game they will receive on Sunday afternoon.

With LSU in the playoff, the most likely destination will be the Sugar Bowl. Many experts predict Georgia will face Baylor, who lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship.

The College Football Playoff Committee will announce their selections Sunday starting at Noon. The New Year's Six bowls will also be announced.
