Although I have great difficulty rooting for Alabama either

Nah. Alabama will be in either way.
Do you realize how many spirits would be lifted if Alabama wasn't in the championship playoffs?
Georgia can still make a strong case as one of the top four teams in the country even if they lose to Alabama -- if they can keep the game close.
I predict an epic blowout with Alabama winning by 41 points.
I have a feeling that Georgia will pull off the upset. Unfortunately, my hunches only work when I keep them to myself.
I believe Georgia will win. Like Evander Holyfield said, if you don’t believe it, it’s not going to happen. I know the Dawgs believe they will win.
Look at the #1 through #4 teams right now:
Alabama
Clemson
Notre Dame
Georgia
If there's a team outside these top four that really scares Alabama (#5 Oklahoma or #6 Ohio State, for example), Alabama can keep them out of the playoffs by deliberately losing a close game to Georgia.
Just one more thing not to like about a college football playoff system.

Not a GT fan but love their fight song.
I wouldn’t think GA would stand a chance, but then I witnessed the Cowboys beating the Saints last night.
1. They didn't win their conference championship.
2. Even worse, they didn't even play in the SEC championship game ... because they didn't even win their own division within the SEC.
If Alabama's only loss is to Georgia in the SEC championship game, they have a much stronger case for a playoff spot than any other one-loss team in the NCAA.
This is why conference championship games make no sense when the NCAA has a playoff for the national championship -- unless the conference championship games are the first round of the playoffs and there are no at-large playoff invitations at all.
Georgia will lose by 38 points.
Dawgs are headed to the Sugar Bowl. I agree, however, that Bama is in absent an inconceivable blowout by the Dawgs.
The interesting debate is OU or OSU for the 4th spot.
Please be respectful and use the real name.

I’m no Georgia fan (Gator thru and thru) but I do not believe a team of Georgia’s talent is going to lose by double digits (38!) to a team they will be totally up for. I will be surprised if they outright win, but they will be in the game for most of the time.
