SEC Title Berths on the Line as Rivalry Week Clarifies Paths for Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia and Ole Miss
Opponents' conference winning percentage is the key tiebreaker guiding who reaches Atlanta.
Overview
- Texas A&M can clinch its first SEC Championship Game appearance by beating Texas on Friday night in Austin.
- Alabama reaches the title game with an Iron Bowl win over Auburn due to a locked-in opponent winning percentage edge aided by Vanderbilt’s recent victory.
- Georgia has completed its SEC schedule and advances only if Alabama loses to Auburn or Texas A&M falls to Texas.
- Ole Miss must defeat Mississippi State and also needs Auburn to upset Alabama and Texas to beat Texas A&M to qualify.
- A four-team, one-loss scenario remains possible, and reporting indicates tiebreakers would likely send Alabama and Georgia to Atlanta.
