On Monday night, the 2021 college football season will reach its conclusion in Indianapolis. When the dust settles inside Lucas Oil Stadium, either No. 1 Alabama will have won a second consecutive national title or No. 3 Georgia will have claimed its first crown in more than four decades. Either way, an SEC team will be hoisting a the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy with confetti falling all around them for the fifth time in the eight-year history of the event.
And it’s not even the first time Alabama and Georgia have met in the CFP National Championship. In fact, it’s not even the first time they’ve met this season. A little over a month ago, the Crimson Tide beat the Bulldogs 41-24 in the SEC Championship Game.
Still, while this isn’t the first time these two have played for a title, it is the first time we’ve seen a championship game featuring two teams that faced off earlier in the same season. So, will Alabama take down Georgia a second time and pick up its seventh national title under Nick Saban, or will UGA finally break through to win its first crown since 1980?
I don’t know! Nobody does, but that’s not going to stop us from trying to figure it out, is it? So here are my thoughts on what we’re most likely to see on Monday during the CFP National Championship along with plenty of picks from my fellow scribes. Odds via Caesars Sportsbook
