All S.E.C. (National) Title Tilt: Alabama vs Georgia

It will be an all S.E.C. national title tilt, (I was wrong, Alabama’s greatness, especially on defense “allowed” it, after Georgia’s stirring 2 overtime win) with Alabama under Nick Saban, in a third straight title tilt, opening as a 4 plus point favorite vs Georgia, which is coached by former Alabama assistant coach, Kirby Smart.

In the first semi yesterday, The Rose Bowl, Sony Michel’s fourth touchdown of the game, a 13 yard scamper in the second overtime, lifted Georgia to a (54-48) win over (I’ll say!!) Oklahoma, to gain a berth in next Monday’s title tilt in Atlanta.

Meanwhile Alabama, a similar three or so point favorite, got a key interception and an eventual one yard touchdown reception from Da’Ron Payne  in a (24-6) win, vs defending champion Clemson in the night Sugar Bowl/semi.

They did not meet in this year’s SEC Title game, but they will meet for the big prize, in the national title game in 6 days.

By the way, the reason they did not meet in that SEC Title game is that Auburn beat both teams and represented the SEC West in the game.

Georgia avenged its defeat at Auburn’s hands while Alabama was picked as one of the four ‘offs teams.

Yesterday Central Florida, the lone unbeaten team (13-0) beat Auburn.
