How Alabama-Georgia evolved into college football's main event with changing playoff landscape

The rivalry between Alabama and Georgia has ascended to the pinnacle of the sport, characterized by frequent high-stakes meetings between the two programs. Former Bulldogs signal-caller Aaron Murray notes that the consistent parity in coaching and talent has transformed this series into a premier matchup that often carries national championship implications.

This weekend, the two teams are scheduled to face off in Tuscaloosa. The history of this series includes notable contests such as the 2012 SEC title game and the 2018 national championship, which served to elevate the intensity of their encounters.

Since the BCS era, these schools have met 11 times as top-10 opponents, surpassing the frequency of other major college football rivalries.
