It all comes down to this, well, sort of... At 11-1 (7-1) on the season, the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs will have their shot at redemption vs. the No. 9 Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game. Alabama has an identical 7-1 SEC record as Georgia, but with the head-to-head win over the Dawgs Between the Hedges back in late September. However, they do have two losses on the year as well.
While Georgia is one of eight teams who are locks to make the 12-team College Football Playoff, along with Indiana, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech, their seeding is entirely contingent on the outcome of Saturday's game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as well as what happens in the other conference championships of note.
