On the the latest episode of “Beat Everyone,” we reach No. 1 on our countdown of the 15 best Alabama football games of the 21st century.
It’s time to reveal number one on a list that took 15 weeks to narrow down.
The pick: Alabama’s 26-23 overtime win over Georgia in the 2018 College Football Playoff Final, for the 2017 season.
Why this game? Why do we consider this the best since the year 2000, certainly the best of the Nick Saban era, arguably the greatest run in the history of all of college football. What sets this apart from the other instant classics?
