Alabama–Georgia football rivalry
Updated: Wikipedia source
The Alabama–Georgia football rivalry is a college football rivalry game between the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama and the Bulldogs of the University of Georgia. The two bordering state schools were charter members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 1933 and played every season from 1944 to 1965. Despite no longer playing annually, Alabama and Georgia have met in several nationally important matchups in the twenty-first century, including five SEC championship games and two College Football Playoff national championship games since 2010, bringing the rivalry back into national prominence. The game, while not a bowl game, has been called “The Standard”, insinuating that it is the gold standard of college football.
