The stage is set, the rivalry is red-hot, and now, a polarizing figure will make his way into the fray. In what is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated matchups of the college football season, former President Donald Trump has announced plans to attend the Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide showdown on September 28. Tuscaloosa will not only witness a battle between two SEC giants but also brace for the arrival of a political heavyweight who rarely avoids the spotlight.
This isn’t just another high-profile college football game; it’s about to become a media frenzy. With Trump’s presence in the stands, the clash between these two powerhouses has transformed from a must-watch for football fans into a spectacle that will capture the attention of the entire nation. It’s not just a question of who will claim victory on the field, but also how the atmosphere will shift with the former president in the mix.
For Trump, this won’t be his first foray into the raucous environment of Alabama football. In 2019, he stepped into Bryant-Denny Stadium for Alabama’s battle with LSU-a game that ended in a 46-41 loss for the Crimson Tide. Yet, his presence hardly spells doom for Alabama’s fortunes. Just a year prior, Trump was on hand for the 2018 national championship game, where Alabama triumphed over Georgia in a thrilling 26-23 victory. His track record with these teams? Unpredictable, just like the game ahead.
The timing of Trump’s appearance couldn’t be more dramatic. Georgia and Alabama are both ranked in the top five of the AP poll, with equally formidable teams on both offense and defense. The Bulldogs, with their explosive offense, are ready to clash with Nick Saban’s disciplined squad, which has earned a reputation for suffocating defenses. The stakes? National pride, conference supremacy, and a potential path to the College Football Playoff.
The Wisconsin Badgers are set to host the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday. The Badgers have won their first two games at home to open the 2024 season, while Alabama is also off to a 2-0 start after averaging 52.5 points per game. The Crimson Tide have won six consecutive games on the road but they’re just 2-8 against the spread in their past 10 games played in Week 3. This SEC vs. Big Ten battle is part of a loaded Week 3 college football schedule on Saturday.

Why Alabama can cover
Alabama features one of college football’s most explosive offenses. Led by quarterback Jalen Milroe, Alabama is averaging 52.5 points per game this season, which ranks seventh in the nation. Milroe is a dual-threat quarterback who can be effective with both his arm and legs. The junior signal caller has completed 65.7% of his passes for 394 yards and five touchdowns, while also rushing for four scores.
In last week’s victory over South Florida, Milroe completed 16-of-26 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns. He also carried the ball 12 times and scored twice on the ground. Milroe’s effectiveness is a big reason why Alabama has won 13 of its last 14 games dating back to last season, including six straight on the road. See which team to pick here.
Why Wisconsin can cover
The Badgers are coming off a 27-13 victory over South Dakota last week behind a dominant showing from their defense. Wisconsin gave up just 237 total yards against the Coyotes and forced South Dakota to go 2-for-11 on 3rd down. Dating back to last season, Wisconsin has held its opponents to 17 points or less in four of its last five games.
