Before Alabama heads to Norman for a first-round CFP date against Oklahoma, I let EA Sports College Football 26 determine the Crimson Tide's fate.
However, the projections only give Alabama a 39% chance of beating Georgia in this game. If Alabama loses a close game, there's still a chance the team will make the CFP, since Georgia is only favored by 2.5 points. If Alabama gets blown out, things could get more precarious leading into Sunday's announcement.
Georgia and Alabama have various CFP scenarios ahead of them, and they might even meet a third time this season in the playoffs.
Georgia football's defense has the Bulldogs playing up to their standard after some shaky showings this season. How the 'naysayers' were quieted.
Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart picked up his first win against Alabama in the SEC championship game, as he was 0-4 against the Crimson Tide for an SEC title in his career. Smart also improved to 2-7 against Alabama, with his last win coming in the 2022 CFP national championship game.
