Tony’s take: Alabama-Georgia has higher stakes than usual

Someone is going to be sweating on Sunday. 

Technically, this weekend’s game between No. 17 Alabama and No. 5 Georgia won’t decide either team’s postseason fate. The Bulldogs (3-0, 1-0) are off to an unblemished start to the season. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide (2-1, 0-0) has yet to be tested in SEC play and could conceivably lose two more times and still win the conference. 

No one’s season is ending between the hedges on Saturday. But when it comes to bragging rights and overall perception, this might as well be a title bout. 

Just think about the possible storylines
