In Atlanta, the SEC Championship is a rematch of Alabama and Georgia. On Sunday, ESPN announced that "College GameDay" will be in Atlanta not Indianapolis ahead of the SEC Championship clash between Georgia and Alabama.

Let's dive into what fans can expect from the upcoming edition of "College GameDay."

The 'College GameDay' location for championship week will be in Atlanta ahead of SEC Championship between Alabama and Georgia

It will be a bit of a home game for Georgia with Athens about an hour and a half away from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Bama fans are sure to travel as well with an SEC title on the line.

With just one loss, Georgia is expected to make the College Football Playoff, even with a loss. Things are a little more uncertain for Alabama as a loss would give the Crimson Tide their third defeat of the season.
