After taking down Mississippi State last week, the Alabama Crimson Tide are sitting pretty entering Week 6 of the college football season.

Alabama has opened the year on a five game win streak, looking like a legitimate title contender this season. The Crimson Tide have seen strong play from both sides of the ball, giving this program thought to a special year upcoming.

But Alabama is now getting ready for a massive game against the Georgia Bulldogs this weekend, giving them a new challenge to overcome. The Crimson Tide will be welcoming the Bulldogs into Tuscaloosa, which could give Alabama a slight edge.

However, Georgia will be unlike any team that the Crimson Tide have faced so far this year, and Alabama will need to be careful. Each one of these two teams understands the high stakes involved in this game, and there could be fireworks out on the field this weekend.

But entering the game, college football analyst Josh Pate had a bold take for the upcoming showdown between Alabama and Georgia. Pate believes that whomever comes out victorious in this game could be pencilled into the College Football Playoff.

This matchup has been one of the top in college football over the last few years, with the game getting much intrigue. Both Alabama and Georgia have desires to make the playoff, and this game would give the winner a edge to get in.

But in recent years, the loser of this game still would have a good chance to get in, assuming that the game was close. However, in college football, the margin for error is so slim that even one loss could be detrimental to playoff chances.

Alabama will be coming into this game ranked No. 6 in the country, while Georgia comes in ranked No. 2. For the Crimson Tide, they have an opportunity to take down a top team in the nation on their home field, which could give them real momentum going forward.

The Crimson Tide only cares about winning titles during the season, and games like this help set the tone for the team. If they can take down Georgia, it would instill major confidence back into this program.

After this big game with Georgia, the Crimson Tide will be facing off against Tennessee on the road, continuing the brutal SEC schedule. But all Alabama can do is focus on the Bulldogs right now, and if they come out with a strong game plan, a win could easily be had.
