The SEC Championship is here. No. 1 Georgia (12-0, 8-0) is set to take on No. 8 Alabama (11-1, 8-0) for the conference crown and a shot at the College Football Playoff.
The Bulldogs have a 29-game win streak on the line, while the Crimson Tide aim to avenge their loss to Georgia in the 2021 national championship.
These two programs are very familiar with each other, which only adds to the drama. UGA head coach Kirby Smart served under Nick Saban at Alabama for nine seasons before taking the helm in Athens.
Saban is 4-1 against Smart, including a 2-0 record in the SEC title game.
The winner of Saturday’s matchup will have a good chance at a playoff spot. If the Bulldogs lose, however, it’s possible the SEC is left out of the playoffs entirely.
