In a matchup featuring two highly ranked teams with national title hopes, Alabama at Georgia is the game of the week in the SEC.

No. 8 Georgia hosts No. 12 Alabama Saturday afternoon in Athens in the first meeting between the two schools since the 2012 SEC Championship Game. The Bulldogs, a slight favorite according to Las Vegas odds makers, enter the SEC cross-divisional matchup with a 4-0 overall record and a 2-0 mark in SEC play. The Crimson Tide are 3-1 overall and 0-1 in the SEC after a 43-37 loss to Ole Miss two weeks ago.

Because of the loss to the Rebels, Alabama already has their backs against the wall in the race to repeat as SEC Champions and to make a second appearance in the College Football Playoff. A loss to Georgia would likely end any hopes of either a conference or national title, and it would be the first time a Nick Saban-coached Alabama squad lost two regular season games since 2010. Therefore, expect the Crimson Tide to come out fighting.

On the other hand, Georgia is aiming for their first SEC Championship since 2005 and the program’s first national championship since 1980. The Dawgs could survive a loss, and would still control their own destiny in the SEC East, but the margin for error the rest of the season would be razor-thin.
