Alabama won the SEC after securing a nail-biting victory over No 1 ranked Georgia in Atlanta - ending the Bulldogs' hopes of three straight national championships.
Kirby Smart's side were the No 1 ranked team in the country after amassing a 29-game winning streak heading into Saturday's SEC Championship Game.
But the Crimson Tide came from behind to secure a 27-24 victory, with quarterback Jalen Milroe leading Alabama to victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
It was Georgia's first loss since the 2021 SEC Championship game, when the Bulldogs were beaten by Alabama once more.
This victory secured Nick Saban's side a third SEC title in four years - and its eighth championship since 2012.

Alabama has now won its last nine appearances in the SEC Championship, a streak that dates back to 2008. But both the Crimson Tide and Georgia must now wait to find out their CFB playoff fate.
After the game, Milroe was named MVP. 'I never gave up on this team,' the emotional quarterback said. 'We had to be perfect before anybody had an opinion on us.'
He added: 'We have a great group of guys in the locker room... I'm so proud of the guys because they never give up.'
Saban then took to the microphone to praise his players. 'We had something to prove, they pereseved, they overcame adversity,' he said.
'That's life, that's a lesson for everybody out there.'
