As expected, ESPN’s College GameDay wrapped up the 2025 regular season in Ann Arbor for "The Game" between Michigan and Ohio State, college football’s best rivalry game. The defending national champions finally took down their arch rivals by defeating the Wolverines 27-9 and snapping Michigan’s four-game winning streak against them.

The day after rivalry week, College GameDay announced its destination for conference championship weekend.

College GameDay is returning to the SEC for conference championship weekend, spotlighting the conference title game between Georgia and Alabama in Atlanta. Texas A&M, who joined the SEC in 2012, was originally slated to appear in its first SEC championship game until Texas handed them their first loss of the season to keep them out of the game.

Instead, Georgia and Alabama will face off in the SEC title game for the fifth time in the last 15 years. Alabama beat Georgia earlier this year 24-21 in Athens, and has won each of their last four conference championship matchups. Overall, the Crimson Tide has won 10 of their last 11 games against the Bulldogs.

Georgia comes into the game at 11-1 while Alabama heads to Atlanta after defeating Auburn to move to 10-2 on the season.

College GameDay alternatively could have traveled to Indiana for the Big Ten championship game between undefeated Ohio State and Indiana, but instead opted to return to the south for this classic SEC rivalry clash.
