Alabama lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game 28-7 on Saturday, Dec. 6, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, handing the Crimson Tide its first loss in a conference title game since 2008.

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

Alabama's SEC title game loss to Georgia dealt a blow to the Tide's playoff hopes, but what does it mean for other CFP hopefuls, such as Miami and Notre Dame?

Alabama football is one of the eight teams still chasing a National Championship on Christmas Day. The Crimson Tide is set to take on Indiana in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day after storming back from being down 17 and beating Oklahoma in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

Eight teams remain in the College Football Playoff, and none are perfect. As far as fans are concerned, that's a good thing. It leads to more uncertainty about how the final three rounds will play out, which is what every college football fan should want.
