We have arrived at the matchup every college football fans wants to see. 

Alabama and Georgia represent the Southeastern Conference in Indianapolis for the College Football Playoff National Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium. Nick Saban has won all four meetings against Kirby Smart, including a 26-23 comeback victory in the 2018 CFP National Championship Game. Coach Smart is looking for his first win over Saban, and Georgia eyes its first national title since 1980. The Crimson Tide is trying to repeat as champions in the CFP era. 

Before kickoff, we have pregame notes for the Crimson Tide. 

-Christopher Allen (foot) participated in pregame stretching, but I don’t think he plays tonight.
