Tonight’s CFP Championship game will be an all-SEC affair when number three Georgia faces off against number one Alabama in a rematch. Their previous meeting this season was at the SEC’s title game in December, a game that saw Alabama easily take down Georgia 41 to 24. To make it into the final game of the season Georgia defeated Michigan in blowout style by the score of 34-11 in one of the two semifinal games. In the other semi-final game, Alabama also crushed their opponent, Cincinnati, by a 27 to 6 score to advance to the championship game.
Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart worked under Nick Saban for nine seasons before taking over the top job at Georgia in 2016.
