Alabama and Georgia are playing in the national title game for the second time in five seasons.
The No. 1 Crimson Tide easily beat No. 4 Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl on Friday and No. 3 Georgia blitzed No. 2 Michigan in the first half in the Orange Bowl to set up the third all-SEC title game in the last 11 seasons and the second national title rematch in that span.

In 2011, LSU beat Alabama, 9-6, in the regular season before the Crimson Tide beat LSU, 21-0, in the BCS championship.
