Alabama and Georgia face off in the College Football Playoff championship. These are the biggest plays and moments.
The 2017 college football season comes down to this!
It is the College Football Playoff championship game.
It's Alabama versus Georgia. Alabama is going for their fifth title in nine years and either their 17th or 15th championship overall, depending on whether you believe Bama or the NCAA. Meanwhile, Georgia is going for their first title since 1980.
It's also Nick Saban versus his former assistant, Kirby Smart. Saban is going for his sixth championship — which would be more than every other active FBS coach combined — and Smart is trying to do something former Saban assistants have never done — beat Saban (they are 0-11 against their former boss).
Below we will be tracking the biggest plays and top moments so come back throughout the night (most recent updates are first).
And we're off!
President Donald Trump was on the field for the national anthem.
UCF wasn't invited to the College Football Playoff, but their now-former head coach, Scott Frost, was on hand. Terrell Owens was also in the house, rooting on Alabama.
In addition, the pylons now have microphones to pick up sounds in addition to their cameras.
For the first time, the first down markers have cameras embedded in them to give a better view on plays at the first-down line.
Fans were forced to wait outside as one gate was locked down waiting for the arrival of President Donald Trump. When his motorcade finally arrived, the fans booed.
It was a rainy night in Atlanta. For the most part it was a good thing the game was indoors. But there was a report prior to the game of a leak coming from the roof directly above the field.
