Two of college football’s most storied programs, Alabama and Georgia, have a heavyweight clash on Saturday that will impact the expanded College Football Playoff.

The fourth-ranked Crimson Tide will host the No. 2 Bulldogs at a sold-out Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium, with former President Donald Trump expected to attend. The game will be held under heightened security, and fans are asked to be in their seats by 5 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. kickoff in the SEC opener.
