The Georgia Bulldogs have finished their SEC conference schedule with two losses—one to Alabama and another to Ole Miss. They still have a chance to make it to the SEC Championship game, as several other teams in the league have multiple losses as well.
SEC Championship Game Scenarios
SEC Standings:
Texas (6-1)

Alabama (4-3) – Alabama LOSES 24-3 to Oklahoma (ELIMINATED)
Georgia secures an SEC Championship berth if Texas A&M loses to both Auburn and Texas. Texas A&M holds the head-to-head tiebreaker against Georgia due to their conference opponent’s record.
Alabama LOSES 24-3 to Oklahoma. (Alabama Eliminated)
Texas A&M LIVE vs Auburn
The simplest breakdown is:
Georgia plays Georgia Tech on ABC on Friday night inside Sanford Stadium at 7:30. Georgia already holds a head-to-head win over Texas this season in Austin. If Texas A&M beats Auburn, Georgia will be officially eliminated from the SECCG. If Texas A&M defeats Texas, Texas and Texas A&M will face off in the conference championship.
Some fans and coaches around the conference, including Lane Kiffin, have questioned the value of playing in the conference championship game, given the potential for a third loss for Georgia. Considering the College Football Playoff committee’s recent inconsistencies, the focus should remain on taking care of business on the field.
“I’ve talked to other coaches, and I can give you their perspective,” Kiffin said about the SEC Championship game. “They don’t want to be in it. The reward of a bye versus the risk of being knocked out entirely is a huge gamble.”
