The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry gets a new twist, along with its biggest stakes ever – an SEC title and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
In the space of barely two weeks, Auburn has knocked off two top-ranked teams in Georgia and Alabama. That’s impressive. Beat Georgia again, and the Tigers will have a shot at a second national championship in eight years. But Georgia has had weeks to learn from its mistakes, and with running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel still a deadly combination, the Bulldogs likely will make life more difficult for Auburn than in the Tigers’ 40-17 win on November 11.
