That was a different era of Alabama football, however. Nick Saban was still the head coach, and the win was the final win of Nick Saban's career. Alabama went on to lose to Michigan in the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoffs, and Saban would retire a week later.

Georgia went on to play in the Orange Bowl as the no. 6 team in the country, dominating a then-undefeated Florida State team 63-3.

Kalen DeBoer is now the head coach of the Crimson Tide, and his young Alabama tenure could be defined depending on what happens at home against the Bulldogs.

DeBoer and Alabama are currently 3-0 with a bye week before the monumental matchup with Georgia.

According to the NCAA Game simulation, Alabama defeats Georgia just 28.5% of the time, with an average score of 20.9 to 13.8 in favor of the Bulldogs.
