No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Georgia will square off Saturday afternoon in the same building where the Crimson Tide walked off with a national championship over Georgia in overtime just 11 months ago. This time, the SEC title will be on the line in an SEC Championship Game that essentially serves as a national quarterfinal leading into the College Football Playoff.
Crimson Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa came off the bench in that title game, throwing three touchdowns in the second half and overtime; now he's back leading a team that's loaded with offensive weapons. Bulldogs quarterback Jake Fromm is no slouch either, and he has enough playmakers at his disposal to keep the Tide defense honest.
Here's how you can watch and stream the 2018 SEC Championship Game on Saturday afternoon.

Storylines
Alabama will win if ... it shuts down the run. The Bulldogs running game has picked up of late thanks to the emergence (and health) of star D'Andre Swift. He has topped the 100-yard mark in four of the last five games, with the UMass game being the only outlier down the stretch. His ability to make plays as a runner and receiver, combined with Elijah Holyfield's ability to break tackles, makes Georgia's rushing attack dangerous. If Quinnen Williams, Isaiah Buggs and Co. can stop them on, Fromm won't be able to work off play-action and the entire Bulldogs offense will crumble.
Georgia will win if ... the defensive front has its best day. Tagovailoa has been nearly unflappable, but the leg injuries became an issue down the stretch. If Georgia can get in the backfield and the pressure gets home, that injury could come into play. If Tagovailoa has time in the pocket, he will pick any team apart -- even a secondary as good as that of Georgia.

Why not? If men can claim they’re women, etc....just declare yourself a champion.
They did it last year...Why not this year also???

Me either. But one never knows.

select ‘watch’
Thanks. I can’t get it to work. I have the game on TV so, I’m not missing it.
This is a good game which is what I was hoping to see.
At this point either team can win. It should be a good second half.
Bama is in trouble.
The warning signs were there in that first half against The Citadel.
I am shocked by what I am seeing. I told some friends recently I thought Bama could beat the Patriots in Foxboro if you spotted the Pats 14.
And Tag just threw another INT in the red zone.
TD Bama!
Not over.
