ATLANTA -- The cacophony of chants filled a Georgia Dome packed to the brim, as Alabama's captains strutted toward midfield for Saturday's coin flip.
Edd-ie, Edd-ie, Edd-ie!
From right to left, Jonathan Allen, Cam Robinson, Reuben Foster and then Eddie Jackson -- the only one not in pads.
Edd-ie, Edd-ie, Edd-ie!
Hours later, those chants were back. This time, not as loud -- thanks in large part by the overwhelmingly pro-Alabama crowd getting lost in other hoots and hollers celebrating the Tide's 24-7 win over Washington in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl -- but just as meaningful.
