Nick Saban & The Tide Bring An Unbelievable Resume To Atlanta
Saturday afternoon, the 11-1 Alabama Crimson Tide play the 11-1 Georgia Bulldogs, in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. At stake is a likely trip the BCS National Championship Game in Miami, against the 12-0 Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Alabama is the defending national champions, who have won two of the last three BCS titles. Georgia is looking to get to a national championship game for the first time since winning the 1980 Sugar Bowl and claiming the NCAA championship.
Overall, Georgia has won two national championships, along with 12 conference titles. UGA's last SEC crown took place in 2005.
The advantage in this contest probably goes to Alabama (7.5-point favorite), particularly due to head coach Nick Saban's experience. Saban has won three total national championships, including 2003 with LSU, as well as in 2009 and 2011 at Alabama.
The Crimson Tide have won an astounding 14 national titles, to go with 24 conference championships.
