Kirby Smart has entered his most dangerous era after Georgia’s aggressive win over Alabama

TUSCALOOSA, AL- Don't tell Georgia or Alabama that Saturday night's game in Tuscaloosa was meaningless because of the current college football playoff format.

After a week full of drama surrounding Hurricane Isaias and whether we would see these two teams take the field on time, fans were treated to a heavyweight showdown inside Bryant Denny Stadium on Saturday in front of a soaked crowd watching from the stands.

We did not need any extra hype for this one.

The theatrical movies that schools release before kickoff were not going to do anything that the Bulldogs and Tide couldn’t do when they arrived around 5:40 p.m.

EST on Saturday afternoon.

WATCH AS OUTKICK'S TREY WALLACE BRAVES HURRICANE ISAIAS' BEFORE ALABAMA-GEORGIA SHOWDOWN IN TUSCALOOSA This was about Kirby Smart trying to buck the regular season trend against Alabama, while Kalen DeBoer looked to put his team back into the perceived national spot that some wanted to argue they had fallen out of.

What you got was two teams trading haymakers for a first half that ended with DeBoer going for a touchdown with just seconds remaining on the clock, taking a 17-14 lead into the locker room.

ALABAMA PROVIDES UPDATE FOR SHOWDOWN AGAINST GEORGIA, AS SCHOOL, SEC AND TRUMP PLAN FOR HURRICANE ISAIAS This came after Georgia had found its way out of its own end of the field on two occasions for 10 points.

A late-arriving crowd inside a a misty Bryant Denny Stadium watched two coaches trying to outmaneuver each other for four quarters, while Keelon Russell and Gunner Stockton traded shots on offense.

What more could you ask for on a day filled with so much drama around college football? Heck, in the fourth quarter alone this evening, Georgia missed a field goal that would have given it the lead against Alabama, while Kentucky missed a 26-yard chip shot that would have tied the game with LSU.

There were plenty of times in this game tonight where Georgia felt like the better football team, in all facets.

But then, when you have such dynamic team like Alabama that can score on you within seconds, no lead seemed safe.

In reality, we were watching two of the best teams in college football in Tuscaloosa, and it doesn’t matter that they both come from the SEC.

You can add Ohio State to that list, while taking Texas off of it at the same time.
