Ferguson | F000465 | ferguson.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON D.C. Congressmen Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.) and Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) today announced a friendly wager on the SEC Championship Game between the University of Georgia and University of Alabama. Ferguson is staking Chick-fil-A on a Bulldog victory, and Byrne is risking Alabama seafood for a Crimson Tide win. Ferguson and Byrne had a similar wager during last year's National Championship Game. I am confident this will be the year the student becomes the master and Kirby Smart leads the Dawgs to victory over Nick Saban and the Alabama team, said Congressman Ferguson. With phenomenal players like the Third District's Terry Godwin, the Georgia Bulldogs are sure to win the SEC Championship and head to the playoffs. I look forward to enjoying some Alabama seafood to celebrate the win. There is no doubt Alabama is the powerhouse in the SEC this season, said Congressman Byrne. Time and again Alabama's offense has rolled past team after team to secure a perfect 12-0 record. I expect that same focus, drive, and intensity against Georgia this Saturday. Nick Saban and Tua Tagovailoa will make it 13-0 against the Bulldogs, and I look forward to another delicious Chick-fil-a meal from my Georgia colleague. Ferguson attended the University of Georgia before gaining early acceptance to the Medical College of Georgia. Byrne received his law degree from the University of Alabama. #GoDawgs ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
