Georgia fell to No. 5 from the top spot in the after Saturday’s 41-34 loss at the then-No. 4, now-No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide in one of the most electric games of the season. The Bulldogs, who were 2-point favorites, rallied from a 33-15 deficit to start the 4th quarter and grabbed a 34-33 lead with 2:31 left when QB Carson Beck hit WR Dillon Bell for a 67-yard TD pass (2-point conversion failed).

But ‘Bama responded with a 75-yard TD from QB Jalen Milroe to WR Ryan Williams — 29 yards in the air, 46 after the catch — on the 1st play after the kickoff to regain the lead. The Bulldogs drove to the Tide’s 20-yard line, but Beck was intercepted in the end zone with 43 seconds to go as the Bulldogs’ streaks of 42 regular-season wins and 28 SEC regular-season wins came to an end. Beck, who fell to 16-2 as a stater, finished with 439 passing yards (27 of 50) with 3 TDs and 3 picks. Bell had 2 TDs (1 receiving, 1 rushing) had 5 receptions for 100 yards.
