The biggest game of the year in the best conference in the nation is set to go down, as two Top-4 teams meet up with a spot to the College Football Playoff on the line. Jake Fromm and Georgia remain one of the toughest outs in college football, but Heisman favorite Joe Burrow and LSU are looking to do some damage and cement their claim as the best team in the nation. Considering how last year's improbably SEC title game looked, NOTHING is off the table with regards to what can go down in the 2019 iteration of this game.

Since the start of the BCS, only one team, Cam Newton's Auburn squad in 2010, has won the National Championship ranked 25th or worse in total defense. LSU is 36th in yards allowed and 31st in points allowed. That could make life easy for future pro star D'Andre Swift, as his power and speed combination could prove problematic for an LSU team that hasn't looked as dominant in their front seven after losing Devin White to the NFL and linebacker Michael Divinity earlier this year. If Georgia is to win this game, Fromm needs to manage the game and avoid turnovers while letting Swift carry the offense.

2. Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson Both Top 100 Yards and Score Once

Joe Brady is getting most of his adulation due to his work with Burrow at the quarterback position. However, he's also the wide receivers coach, and he has molded Chase and Jefferson into two of the best at their positions in the country. Chase's 1,457 yards are second in the country by 16 yards, and his school record 17 touchdowns lead the nation. Jefferson has 1,092 yards and 13 touchdowns as a No. 2 option. These two should feast against a Georgia secondary that struggled against the likes of Bryan Edwards and other elite receivers.

1. Joe Burrow Breaks Danny Wuerffel's Passing Yards Record in an LSU Victory

In 1996, Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel set the SEC Championship game record with 401 yards passing while mixing in six touchdowns in a 45-30 win over Alabama. Burrow is more than capable of hitting those benchmarks, and the craziest LSU fans in Baton Rouge may even expect him to hit those numbers at a minimum. Against a Georgia secondary that hasn't been as fearsome after losing several starters to the pros and with two of the ten best wide receivers in the country, Burrow should be in for another record-setting day as Ed Orgeron's Tigers coast into the playoff.
