No. 1: Potential Game of the Year – Alabama vs. Georgia, October 3, 2015

But every year there are a few games that don’t happen often, that pit two teams that look to have a lot on the line. This October 3, when Alabama visits Athens, Ga. and the Georgia Bulldogs, we could be looking at a potential preview of the SEC Championship game.

The last time these two met it was in the 2012 SEC Championship game, lauded by many as one of the best ever. Before that, in 2008, Georgia was on top of the world, and Alabama demolished them in front of a blacked-out crowd in Athens. Prior to that, Georgia stunned the Tide at Bryant-Denny in overtime in 2007.

The 2015 matchup is shaping up to be another classic between these two unfamiliar rivals.
