How to watch Alabama vs. Georgia in the College Football Championship today without cable
College football will crown a champion tonight on ESPN.
College football expanded its playoff field to four teams seven years ago, but this season it could have reverted back to picking only two schools to play for the national championship. All season, two teams have been clearly superior to the rest of the competition. The Georgia Bulldogs were the top team for most of the year and didn't lose a game until the SEC championship. And who handed the Bulldogs their first loss? None other than the Alabama Crimson Tide, who have won six of the past 12 titles including last year's. The Tide will be looking to make it seven out of 13 tonight.
In the semifinals, Georgia routed Michigan and Alabama overpowered Cincinnati to set up a rematch of the SEC Championship for the national title. Can Georgia finally topple big, bad Alabama? The National Championship Game kicks off on Monday at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ESPN.
Cord cutters can stream the game live, no cable required. Here's how.
