Off The Edge host, Jacob Harrison is breaking down all 13 other teams in the SEC and is starting with the Georgia Bulldogs, the biggest threat to Alabama's title hopes.
An Alabama win over Arkansas this weekend will set up a Titanic matchup in the SEC Championship game between Georgia and Alabama. Smart is 0-4 against Alabama while at the helm for Georgia but his 2021 squad looks to be the team to break that streak and potentially eliminate the Crimson Tide from playoff contention.
Outside of Alabama's debut at the No. 2 position, the other three programs appearing in the top four of the initial poll all are led by coaches that worked with one another on the 2015 Alabama football team.
Former Alabama strength and conditioning coach and University of Georgia special teams coordinator Scott Cochran has reportedly stepped away from the Bulldog program. Cochran left Alabama for Georgia to take an on-field coaching role in the spring of 2020.
If Mac Jones keeps up his insanely productive play, the Crimson Tide have a far better chance of beating the Georgia Bulldogs, with or without Nick Saban.
Saban is a perfect 19-0 when it comes to taking on his former assistant coaches and when the Tide takes on the Texas A&M Aggies this weekend, Saban will have to contend with another of his former employees. In fact, Saban will face a former assistant coach in each of the next four games on the Alabama schedule.
