A few things that stand out:
- After the CFP semifinal games, Georgia opened as 2.5-point favorites vs. Alabama at FOX Bet. On Monday, that line moved, and the Bulldogs are now 3-point favorites against the Crimson Tide.
- Alabama defeated Cincinnati 27-6 in the Cotton Bowl Classic Semifinal and clinched a second consecutive trip to the title game. Despite losing, the Bearcats still made history as they became the first team from the Group of Five to earn a spot in the CFP.
- In the Capital One Orange Bowl Semifinal, Georgia routed Michigan 34-11 to advance to their second CFP Championship appearance in four years. The Wolverines made some history of their own as they became the first program to snag a playoff berth after beginning the season unranked.
- Alabama leads Georgia in the all-time series 42–25–4.
