Alabama upset Georgia 24-21 on the road in their last outing on Sept. 27. Both teams also still have plenty to play for in the College Football Playoff race, with Alabama looking to avoid bubble status and Georgia aiming to lock up a first-round bye.

The two teams have developed a rivalry as the two most dominant teams in the SEC in the last decade, with Georgia and Alabama winning 10 of the last 11 SEC championships.

Austin Curtright, USA TODAY Sports: Smart wins his second game ever against Alabama as Georgia’s head coach, getting revenge on the Crimson Tide to lock up a top-four seed in the CFP. Alabama falls to bubble status, hoping BYU doesn’t beat Texas Tech in the Big 12 championship game to potentially steal a bid from the Crimson Tide.
