ATLANTA — Like the sunrise — or the sunset, depending on your perspective — Alabama football is inevitable.
The Georgia Bulldogs weren’t just battling Alabama on Saturday night in the SEC championship. The Bulldogs were battling the ghosts of past failures against the Crimson Tide too. And after suffering a thorough 41-24 whupping at Alabama’s hands, the Bulldogs are now facing an entire cemetery’s worth of ghosts.
Georgia will get an invitation to the College Football Playoff; it's been the nation’s best team all season, and nothing short of disbanding would have kept the Bulldogs out.
