One of college football’s biggest rivalries takes center stage Saturday night as the second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs travel to Tuscaloosa to face the sixth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in a battle of undefeated Southeastern Conference teams.
Both teams enter Saturday’s matchup with identical 5-0 overall records and 3-0 marks in SEC play, setting the stage for a showdown with major implications for the conference championship race and the national rankings.
