And not necessarily because I'm thinking that there's going to be a larger than expected number of ASU fans making the trip, but now you have the "Georgia factor."

Needless to say, there are a plethora of Bulldog fans living in the Atlanta metropolitan area and rooting for the team that has already beaten Texas twice this year. So, I have no doubt in my mind that none of those Georgia fans attending the game on Wednesday are going to suddenly cheer for Texas. The Longhorns came into the SEC with seemingly some arrogance that did not sit well with the Georgia fans and probably other SEC fan bases, for that matter. So, to see Texas get upset in their own backyard is something that's going to put a huge smile on every Georgia fan's face.

One aspect that is probably not discussed much is whether Georgia wants to meet Texas in the national championship final and then try to beat them three times in the same season. No matter how confident a Bulldog fan you are, you probably know that it may be very hard to accomplish, even though, so far, you have proven to be Texas's kryptonite.

Not saying that the larger than expected fan support ASU is going to get in the Peach Bowl is going to be the one aspect that's going to tilt the scales in the Sun Devils' favor but it's interesting storyline of this game, nonetheless.
