Several storylines will take center stage for the Southeastern Conference title game.
Alabama and Georgia know each other well, and both played against each other six times during Nick Saban’s tenure in Tuscaloosa. The Bulldogs’ lone victory came in 2007 at Bryant-Denny Stadium in overtime. Georgia earned a 26-23 win in Saban’s first year but has not won since. Alabama defeated the Bulldogs in 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018 (CFP National Championship), and 2020. Saban got the better of Georgia in the 2012 and 2018 SEC Championship matchups.
He has defeated Kirby Smart three times, including in 2020.
