The Georgia Bulldogs take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in an SEC title game matchup on Saturday from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Bulldogs are the two-time reigning national champs and bring an undefeated record into this one. For Alabama, one loss against Texas is their only blemish, while the SEC slate saw them run through it undefeated. Alabama had won eight in a row before Georgia grabbed the win in the CFP title game back in January of 2022 and the Bulldogs remain favored in this rematch. In a slate if key games, this is likely the most exciting one.

Georgia continues to ride a lengthy winning streak and as the two-time reigning national champions, they know that anything other than a win in this one would be a failure. Even though they sit at 12-0, they've had an up-and-down season by their standards. Last week, they only beat Georgia Tech by eight points, though have a 28-point win against Tennessee and a 35-point win against Ole Miss on their resume. At the end of the day, as long as the wins keep coming, that's all that matters, though Alabama will present their toughest challenge of the season. The Bulldogs will be riding a wave of confidence and momentum into this one and while Alabama has historically presented a challenge for this team, having won the last meeting should help. The Bulldogs need to make sure their focus hasn't already shifted towards the CFP, though with Kirby Smart at the helm, that shouldn't be a concern.

The Bulldogs carry a few injuries into this one, with a few looking to be key on the offensive end. Rara Thomas (foot) and Ladd McConkey (ankle) are both questionable and as key pieces in the passing game, won't want to miss this one. On the defensive end, Jamon Dumas-Johnson (forearm) remains out and as one of the team's sack leaders, will be missed on the defensive end.

Georgia's defense has led the way the last few years but the offense has taken a major step forward this season. They rank sixth nationally in total yardage and are eighth in passing. The ground game that has led the way has taken a step back and against an Alabama defense that prides itself on stopping the run, Georgia could struggle to control the clock. Carson Beck (22 touchdowns, 6 interceptions) has been strong but the offense starts and ends with Brock Bowers, the nation's top tight end. His ability to make big plays and generate first downs is unmatched, while the duo of Daijun Edwards and Kendall Milton gives them athleticism in the backfield. The offense will need to have a breakout game if they want to lift another trophy and big up a defense that has taken a step back, especially with the injury.
