For the first time since Georgia wins its first national championship since when the Herschel Walker-led Bulldogs went The Heisman winner threw for over yards but went and only scored one touchdown. Smart — who had previously been when facing his mentor Nick Saban as a head coach — watched his top-ranked Bulldogs close the game with a victory in Indianapolis. Saban, who was seeking his seventh national title at Alabama, and eighth overall, was Smart's boss for nine seasons in Tuscaloosa, and most recently got the better of his pupil during the SEC Championship game.

The rematch, however, went the way of Georgia, in large part thanks to senior quarterback Stetson Bennett. A costly fourth-quarter Red Zone fumble by Bennett led to Alabama's lone touchdown, a three-yard strike from Bryce Young to Cameron Latu which put the Crimson Tide in front with to play.

However, on the very next possession, Bennett responded with a picturesque yard scoring strike to Adonai Mitchell, giving the Bulldogs the lead right back at Georgia's vaunted defense, exposed during the point loss to Alabama on Dec.

The second of which, an interception by Kelee Ringo, served as the nail in the coffin, as the year-old freshman cornerback picked off Young and raced 79 yards for Georgia's third straight touchdown.

Young, who had designs on following wide receiver DeVonta Smith and becoming the second straight Alabama player to win both the Heisman Trophy and National Championship in the same season, was attempting to lead the Crimson Tide to a game-tying score and two-point conversion, when his throw was snatched by Ringo.

Bennett ends his storybook career in Athens by going for yards and earning offensive MVP honors. The game's earliest moments lacked a certain degree of excitement as both Georgia and Alabama were largely forced to settle for field goals.

The Crimson Tide led at the half, and the game's first touchdown wasn't scored until Georgia running back Zamir White punched it in from one yard out with remaining in the third quarter. However, the game's final quarter offered up big plays befitting a contest of this magnitude, including both Bennett's fumble and his touchdown pass on the ensuing drive. This time, it's Georgia playing with a chip on its shoulder, and that will show as the Bulldogs finally breakthrough for the program's first national championship in over four decades.

Shehan Jeyarajah : Alabama was the first team that was truly able to challenge Georgia downfield, and the results speak for themselves. While Metchie is out, Brooks proved he can be a game-breaking deep threat in the win over Cincinnati.

While Georgia will make changes and have a strong game plan heading into the Dawgs' biggest game in decades, I'm not betting against Saban in an adjustment contest. Jerry Palm : Alabama and Saban know how to do two things well: win championships and beat Georgia. The Tide are looking for a seventh straight win over the Dawgs. Georgia got torched in the teams' first meeting in the SEC title game, but look for both teams to make adjustments for the rematch. I trust Saban to make the better ones.

Adam Silverstein: It's not often you'll get Saban and Alabama as an underdog, and while I will wait to try and get a full field goal prior to kickoff, the Tide are the right side. Georgia opened some eyes by throttling Michigan in the semifinal, while Alabama picked up as ho-hum a point win as I can remember over Cincinnati.

Anderson and Dean are a wash at linebacker. Georgia is stronger up front, but we've already seen it struggle to get after and contain Young. Bama has the edge overall at the offensive skill positions, and we've seen more than once how defenses can wear down with playmakers taking over late. The Dawgs will have every chance to compete and potentially win this game, but my slim edge goes to the Tide.

Jack Crosby : I have learned far too often to rarely bet against Saban and the Tide, no matter what the numbers from Las Vegas may suggest. Georgia was impressive in its Orange Bowl semifinal win over Michigan, but I still can't shake the fact that it was mere weeks ago we witnessed that Alabama knows how to tame the Bulldogs when it matters the most. I expect a very competitive game, but I also see the Alabama offensive line stepping up again, allowing Young to get his work done and lead the Tide to their second consecutive national title in Indianapolis.

Ben Kercheval: To be clear I've seen Young make plays that aren't there. If all other things are equal -- and they generally are between these two titans -- give me the better quarterback and the coach who's done it a time or two or seven.

Who will win Alabama vs. Georgia in the College Football Playoff National Championship game, and which side of the spread has all the value? As for the Bulldogs, the Vanderbilt Commodores come to Athens on senior day between the hedges. Georgia has played in the Peach Bowl on five occasions and has a record in those contests.

The last time the Bulldogs appeared in the Peach Bowl resulted in a victory over No. If this projection holds, it would be Georgia's fourth appearance in the New Year's Day six bowls since the College Football Playoff was implemented.
