LSU throttles Georgia in SEC championship game, stakes claim to No. 1 playoff seed

Date: Dec 08 2019

At an SEC championship game that was a game in name only, LSU annihilated No. 4 Georgia 37-10 in a performance that was part domination, part audition. Seeded No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings coming into the game, the Tigers — thanks to a phenomenal Joe Burrow-led offensive attack and an opportunistic defense — made the case that they ought to be No. 1 in the final iteration of the rankings.
