Georgia football finds itself with its first big test of the year.

The top-five matchup between the No. 1 Bulldogs and No. 4 Crimson Tide not only comes with SEC Championship Game and College Football Playoff implications, but it is also the first matchup between both programs without Nick Saban coaching from the sidelines.

Saturday's game at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium is the first time since 2000 that both Georgia and Alabama will meet in the regular season, a result of the SEC disbanding divisions this season with conference expansion.

One of the bigger matchups to watch for in Saturday's SEC showdown will be Alabama's offense going up against Georgia's defense. Led by Heisman Trophy candidate Jalen Milroe and star freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams, the Crimson Tide have the No. 6 scoring offense in the country through four games. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs' defense ranked fourth in the nation in total defense giving up 202 yards per game.

Here's who the "College GameDay" crew picked to win Saturday's game between Georgia and Alabama, including Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso and more:
