Georgia is a talented squad, but this game kind of reaffirms how over-prepared MSU tends to be for a couple of games every year in the Big 10, and how they apparently cannot remain that level of pereparedness in the bowl season. 

The only caveat I'll give them is that last year's Alabama team, and this year's Georgia team, may be quite a bit better than their ranking.  Especially next year, Georgia should be a top-10 outfit with a chance to compete for an MNC.  That's tough for a team like MSU, which can keep up with teams they see every year but don't have the playmakers to match up against an NFL factory like UGa.
