Overview
- The SEC Championship begins at 4 p.m. ET at Mercedes‑Benz Stadium and airs on ABC, with streaming available via the ESPN app and Fubo; College GameDay broadcasts from Atlanta at 9 a.m. ET.
- Georgia ruled out starting center Drew Bobo and running back Bo Walker, while wide receiver Talyn Taylor and running back Chauncey Bowens were cleared; Alabama listed eight players out, including LT Overton and Kelby Collins.
- Predictive analysis from Dimers currently gives Alabama a slight edge at 52% win probability, projects a 24–23 Tide victory, and identifies Alabama moneyline (+115) as the model’s top play.
- The result carries direct CFP implications, as Georgia can secure a first‑round bye with a win, and Alabama can solidify its playoff case after having won the regular‑season meeting in Athens on Sept. 27.
- Mercedes‑Benz Stadium will use all‑digital tickets with optional facial‑authentication express entry, gates open at 1:30 p.m. ET, and only clear bags are permitted for entry.
