Georgia vs. Alabama rematch needs to happen, and new landscape creates better chance of another meeting

The 12-team College Football Playoff arrived just in time. We want to see Georgia vs. Alabama again. We need to see Georgia vs. Alabama again. 

The more of these games, the better. 

No. 4 Alabama clinched Saturday’s instant classic when a freshman — Zabien Brown — intercepted a Heisman favorite — Carson Beck — in the end zone. But if you think this is the end, then you haven’t seen one of Travis Hunter’s 120-play performances. 

College football seems endless right about now. It’s that good with Kentucky upsetting Ole Miss, Oklahoma coming back to beat Auburn and Indiana off to its best start (5-0) since Sgt. Pepper’s (1967). 

All Alabama did was change coaches, switching from Da GOAT (Nick Saban) to DeBoer. Didn’t matter. The new guy, Kalen DeBoer,  beat the same guy, Kirby Smart, with the old guy, Nick Saban, watching. 

It also doesn’t matter if Georgia’s team busses didn’t seem to arrive until halftime. The Dawgs were that sleepy in falling behind 28-0. Saturday’s result may ultimately prove you can look completely unprepared, get nuked back to the stone age, steamrolled and still survive. 

And that was merely the summary of Alabama in the second half. 

We need a rematch because, well, it almost can’t be helped. We told you about at least four combinations of SEC teams possibly meeting three times this season. Saturday’s Georgia vs. Alabama thriller proved that’s not a bad thing. 

There’s the possibility they meet again in the SEC Championship Game. If a rematch in that game won by Alabama last year doesn’t pair these two giants, well, there’s always that expanded CFP bracket that would welcome them. It almost seem inevitable at this point. 

Saturday’s was the latest classic in the series dominated by Alabama…
