Georgia is back in the SEC Championship Game for the second consecutive year, but it won’t be a rematch of last year’s edition.
Instead of Alabama coming out of the SEC West, as most expected, LSU is making its first appearance since its national championship season in 2019.
The Tigers outperformed expectations in Brian Kelly’s first season, but they don’t come into this game with much momentum after an ugly loss to Texas A&M, which eliminated them from College Football Playoff contention. Georgia, with a powerful defense and an offense brimming with options, is favored by more than two touchdowns.

Tigers QB Jayden Daniels, whose rushing ability has transformed LSU’s offense this season, will face a major challenge against one of the top run defenses in the nation.
Does LSU have what it takes to pull off the upset and knock the defending champs out of the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff?
