Alabama Knocks Off No. 1 Georgia in SEC Championship to Shake Up CFP Picture

Alabama has done what no other team has done this season: Beat Georgia. The Crimson Tide knocked off the No. 1 Bulldogs 41–24 in an impressive showing that not only won them the SEC, but landed them firmly in the College Football Playoff picture.

To start the season the Tide were No. 1 in the AP rankings until they were upset by unranked Texas A&M on Oct. 10. Ever since then, Georgia have been the top dog. But its dominant defense caved at the hands of an impressive Alabama offense that tallied 536 yards of offense—the most it allowed all year.
