Death. Taxes. Georgia and Alabama playing for the SEC football title.
For the fourth time since 2018, the No. 3 Bulldogs and No. 10 Crimson Tide will face each other in the SEC Football Championship Game. They have 27 title game appearances combined between them. At this point, it’s hard for me not to think of either Georgia or Alabama when I come across the term “SEC football.”
The Crimson Tide have won three of the previous five SEC title games, but the Bulldogs took it in 2024. This is a college football rivalry for the ages, and I have all the information on how you can tune in on game day.

2025 SEC Football Championship Game preview
Georgia and Alabama are two very, very good teams. They finished with identical 7–1 conference records in arguably the toughest conference in all of college football.
This matchup is dripping with intrigue, and it honestly could be anybody’s game. Mere decimal points separate each team’s points per game and points allowed. I took a deeper look into each team to see which might have the upper hand. Spoiler alert: It’s a toss-up.
Georgia
The Bulldogs head into the SEC title game on an eight-game winning streak. They haven’t lost a game since late September. In fact, that was their only loss of the season.
Who did they lose to? The Alabama Crimson Tide in a tight 24–21 game.
Quarterback Gunner Stockton has thrown 20 touchdown passes and tallied more than 2,500 passing yards with just five interceptions. He’s also got eight rushing touchdowns on the season.
Nate Frazier is the team’s main running back. He has 809 yards and five touchdowns on 145 carries. Chauncey Bowens has six rushing touchdowns on just 94 carries.
Stockton’s main passing target is receiver Zachariah Branch, who has tallied 691 yards and four touchdowns.
Georgia’s offense is mostly reliant on the run game, particularly with a dual-threat quarterback like Stockton. Defensively, it’s built on stopping the run. That aspect of the game will be key for the Bulldogs.
Alabama
The Crimson Tide have a 10–2 overall record heading into the championship game. Their only losses are to Florida State in their season opener, and to Oklahoma in a 23–21 upset.
Ty Simpson is a 3,000-passing-yard quarterback who has thrown for 25 touchdowns so far this season. His main targets are Germie Bernard and Ryan Williams, who have combined for 10 receiving touchdowns. Receiver Isaiah Horton, though, has the most touchdowns with eight.
On the ground, Jam Miller has 493 rushing yards to lead that group. Daniel Hill has five rushing touchdowns.
Alabama’s offense centers around the pass game, where it averages more than 50 more passing yards than Georgia. Defensively, the Crimson Tide allow less passing yards than Georgia.
