While an SEC championship is nice, each team wants more.
For No. 4 Georgia, the only route to the College Football Playoff is with a victory Saturday. For No. 2 LSU, its place in the CFP likely has been secured. Even with a loss, the Tigers’ resume should be enough to get them at least the No. 4 seed. A loss would send Georgia to a bowl, likely a New Year’s Six reservation.
If Utah wins the Pac-12 championship Friday night, it will want Georgia to lose. The winner of the Big 12 championship (Baylor or Oklahoma), which will be decided probably about a half-hour before Georgia and LSU kick off, will want Georgia to lose.
That’s the storyline for Georgia-LSU in a nutshell. Here is some important information regarding how to follow the action:
