The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide will meet in the SEC championship game with College Football Playoff berths effectively on the line. A loss for Georgia would likely keep both teams in the playoff, while Alabama losing would throw the entire field for a loop.
This is the third meeting between the Bulldogs and Tide in Atlanta, with Alabama winning both previous matchups. Georgia (12-0) comes in as the No. 1 team in the country and opening odds favor the Bulldogs in this matchup.
Alabama (11-1) needed four overtimes to hang on against rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl on Saturday night. The winner of this game is likely the No. 1 team in the College Football Playoff, and if Georgia did lose, there’s still a possibility they’re one of the four teams in the Playoff as well.
