Rivalry Week is finally here, the penultimate slate of games on the college football schedule that will set up championship weekend.

No. 1 Georgia (11-0, 8-0 in SEC play) will travel to take on Georgia Tech, while No. 8 Alabama (10-1, 8-0) takes on Auburn (6-5, 3-4) in the Iron Bowl. Those rivalries are the set up to the 2023 SEC championship game in Atlanta, and both the Yellow Jackets and Tigers would love nothing more than to play spoiler for their rivals' College Football Playoff hopes.
