This ACC title game has implications for both teams and there are tons of bets to be made on this great matchup.

With Michigan losing last week Georgia cracked the top five of the recent BCS poll, but will they stay there long? They need to win this game to get in the BCS playoffs while Alabama may lose and still get in with only one loss. However, the Tide are undefeated and the top-ranked team in the nation.

Alabama has scored at least 50 points in their last two games and they rank fourth in the nation in overall offense and sixth in overall defense.

Since suffering their lone loss of the season to LSU, Georgia won their last five games of the season. Their margin of victory in those five games was 23.2 points per game. Like the Tide the Bulldogs are balanced ranking 13th in the nation on offense and 12th on defense.

These teams met last season in the BCS playoffs with Alabama beating Georgia 26-23 in overtime.
