As Alabama football prepares to take on the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs in Saturday's SEC championship game, head coach Nick Saban called the months leading up to it "one of the most fun seasons we've had."

"That transition seeing the players grow and develop has been kind of different than having the expectation that you're going to win every game... You're trying to prove something," Saban said Friday on the SEC Network, per 247Sports' Mike Rodak.

The upcoming championship contest represents a rematch of the 2021 SEC title game, where the Crimson Tide defeated the Bulldogs 31-24 to earn a ticket to the CFP.
