The Alabama Crimson Tide will host the Georgia Bulldogs in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday evening. Both teams are undefeated heading into the matchup.
The two programs have met multiple times in the last 10 years, including two CFP National Championship matchups.
The Crimson Tide won the first meeting in the 2018 CFP National Championship, 26-23, with Tua Tagovailoa leading the second-half comeback. Tagovailoa connected with wide receiver DeVonta Smith for a walk-off touchdown in overtime to capture their second title at the time.
The Georgia Bulldogs got their revenge in the 2022 CFP National Championship, taking down the Tide in Indianapolis 33-18. A 20-point fourth quarter lifted the Bulldogs to victory, including two passing touchdowns from quarterback Stetson Bennett, and a pick-six by Kelee Ringo in the final minutes to secure the program's first CFP National Championship.
Alabama has the most CFP National Championships, while Georgia is tied for second most.
Since the 2022 CFP National Championship, the two teams have met four times, including two SEC Championships. The Crimson Tide have gone 3-1 in those matchups.
With both teams heading into this version of the series undefeated, it is once again a headliner in the college football slate.
