About Alabama–Georgia football rivalry in brief
The Alabama-Georgia football rivalry is a college football game between the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama and the Bulldogs of Georgia. Both schools were charter members of the Southeastern Conference in 1933. The two southern schools first met in 1895 in Columbus, Georgia. The teams played each other in every season from 1944 to 1965. In 1963, The Saturday Evening Post magazine reported that Alabama coach Paul Bryant and Georgia athletic director and former coach Wally Butts had conspired to fix the 1962 game, which Alabama won 35-0.
Following the scandal, the schools decided to end their annual series after the 1965 meeting. They have played only sporadically since, including just four meetings from 1971 to 1982, an era in which the Tide or Bulldogs won at least a share of every SEC title. Since 1992, Alabama holds a 7–3 record over Georgia, which includes three post-season contests, all Tide victories.
