No. 3 Georgia has solidified its position for a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff and beaten Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game for the first time.

It’s a rematch for the Crimson Tide and Sooners in the first round of the College Football Playoff. This time, it’s in Norman, OK.

To Alabama defensive lineman Tim Keenan III, it comes down to the Crimson Tide's body of work: the top-25 victories, two of which came on the road; the SEC schedule Alabama had to navigate; the toughness Alabama has shown enough to show that the Crimson Tide "is supposed to be in the playoffs."

It appears just about everyone has an opinion on whether Alabama deserves to be included in the 12-team College Football Playoff. Paul Finebaum talked with AL.com after the Tide lost to Georgia 28-7 in the SEC Championship Game. Heather Dinich made her thoughts known, too.
