WATCH: Former Alabama, Georgia players argue over who’s going to win on Monday night

Published:
Five former Alabama and Georgia players recently sat down with ESPN’s Maria Taylor ahead of Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Unsurprisingly, there was a little trash talk involved — particularly from the Georgia players.
“Been there, done that,” seemed to be the motto for the Alabama players.
Here were some of the comments from former UGA players:
“This is by far the best team Nick Saban has played.”
“All that sweet talk and all that being politically correct is nice, but I’m going to be honest with y’all. It’s time for Georgia to get the respect they deserve.”
“Y’all watched us play in the SEC Championship. How do you come back and get a chance to play for the National Championship?”
“Y’all are the underdogs tomorrow … We’re the head honcho in the SEC.”
Part of the segment was inaudible because of the friendly arguing. Check it out:
