What playing in SEC Championship means to Alabama players in 12-tema playoff era

As the Tide secured a fumble with just 33 seconds left in the Iron Bowl, it effectively secured Alabama’s 27-20 lead and the win, which automatically propelled the Crimson Tide into the SEC Championship game.

Alabama would have faced the Texas A&M Aggies, but with their loss to Texas on Friday night, SEC tiebreakers and standing gave the Georgia Bulldogs the nod, meaning fans will get an Alabama-Georgia matchup for the second time this season.

When the Tide made the trip to Athens earlier in the year, it came out on top by just three points, winning 24-21.
