Alabama football and Georgia are about to add another game to the history books.

The No. 4 Crimson Tide will host the No. 1 Bulldogs at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the pair's fifth top-five meeting since 2018.

It's a rivalry rich in tradition well past recent SEC Championship and College Football Playoff National Championship meetings. It's a rivalry Alabama has dominated, holding a 43-26-4 advantage over Georgia including a win in their most recent meeting.

Here's a look at the seven games that have defined the Bulldogs-Crimson Tide rivalry.

Dec. 2, 2023: No. 8 Alabama 27, No. 1 Georgia 24

Going into the 2023 SEC Championship as at least a 5-point underdog according to most sportsbooks, Alabama made a statement in its last meeting with Georgia. The Crimson Tide beat the Bulldogs 27-24 to secure its eighth appearance in the College Football Playoff and to snuff Georgia's attempt at a third-straight national championship.

Holding onto a 20-10 lead after three quarters, helped by two touchdown passes from quarterback Jalen Milroe, Georgia attempted a fourth-quarter comeback with a pair of 1-yard scores by quarterback Carson Beck and running back Kendall Milton. But a 30-yard Milroe run with less than three minutes left secured the Crimson Tide's 30th SEC title.

Jan. 10, 2022: No. 3 Georgia 33, No. 1 Alabama 18

Georgia's only win against Alabama in the past 16 years was a big one for the Bulldogs.

Trailing 18-13 with less than 10 minutes left, two touchdown passes from quarterback Stetson Bennett, and a 79-yard interception return for a touchdown by Kelee Ringo, gave Georgia its first national championship since 1980.

Before the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship, Alabama had beaten Georgia seven straight times between 2008-21.

Jan. 8, 2018: No. 4 Alabama 26, No. 3 Georgia 23

Georgia coach Kirby Smart's first appearance against Alabama did not end well for Georgia.

In the 2018 College Football National Championship, the Bulldogs took a 20-7 third-quarter lead that was erased by two Andy Pappanastos field goals and a 7-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa to Calvin Ridley to secure overtime. And after Rodrigo Blankenship gave Georgia an overtime lead with a 51-yard field goal, the Crimson Tide secured its 17th national title on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Tagovailoa to DeVonta Smith.

Sept. 22, 2007: No. 21 Georgia 26, No. 20 Alabama 23

Alabama came up short in coach Nick Saban's first meeting against Georgia.

Trailing 20-10 early in the fourth quarter, Alabama used two Leigh Tiffin field goals and a 6-yard touchdown run by quarterback John Parker Wilson to tie the game and force overtime. But a 42-yard field goal was not enough to secure the Crimson Tide win. Matthew Stafford threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Mikey Henderson for the Georgia win.

Sept. 18, 1965: Georgia 18, Alabama 17

Alabama came into Sanford Stadium to open the 1965 season as reigning national champions and with a five-game winning streak against Georgia. But the Bulldogs were able to use their home field as an advantage.

In the final two minutes, trailing 17-10, Georgia quarterback Kirby Moore ran a lateral play with receiver Pat Hodgson and Bob Taylor, who recorded the 73-yard score. The win was secured with a 2-point conversion pass from Moore to Hodgson.

After the Georgia loss, Alabama would not lose another game and secured the team's eighth national title.

Sept. 22, 1962: Alabama 35, Georgia 0

The legend of Joe Namath began with a win against Georgia.

An Alabama sophomore quarterback in his first start, Namath had 176 passing yards and 36 rushing yards for an offense that had 464 yards of total offense. He had three touchdown passes to Richard Williamson and Cotton Clark.

In Bryant's tenure, Alabama beat Georgia nine times in 12 meetings.
