According to Vegas, this game leaned in the Dawgs favor. But for the first time in a long time, this truly was anybody’s game. Despite Georgia’s objective success—back-to-back national championships, 29-game winning streak, et cetera—with Alabama as the set opponent going into the SEC Championship Game, it still felt like the Tide were a looming threat to the three-peat that seemed to be in such close grasp. And it turns out they were.
In an unpredictable and hard-fought game that came down to the final possessions, the Georgia Bulldogs failed to take home the 2023 SEC Championship in a twenty-seven to twenty-three loss against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
