The No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs (3-0, 3-0) travel to Tuscaloosa this weekend to face off against Nick Saban and the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (3-0, 3-0).
This matchup features two of the top quarterbacks in all of college football so far. Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett, A.K.A. ‘The Mailman’, currently has the No. 3 QBR at 93.1 while Alabama quarterback Mac Jones has the No.2 QBR at 95.3.
Alabama currently leads the series 40-25-4 and is sitting on a five game win streak that dates back to 2008.
This is without a doubt both teams biggest game on their 10-game conference only schedule for 2020.
