Alabama vs. Georgia for the SEC title, and a likely College Football Playoff berth. Sound familiar?
It’s a last-of-its-kind SEC championship game featuring East vs. West. Of the Power 5’s title games: The Pac-12 title game is a unique swan song, the Big Ten has its Harbaugh hysterics, the wind is out of the ACC’s sails, and the Big 12 has the likelihood to be a blowout, while the SEC’s run-up feels the most familiar. It’s two good teams getting together in Atlanta. We’ve done this particular game four out of the last six seasons. If Georgia wins, they’re into the four-team Playoff field. If Bama does, they have a compelling case, although a loss at home to Texas looms very large. The confines may feel familiar, but the teams playing are built differently than the last time these teams met twice in a month at the end of 2021.
