SEC Championship Scenarios – Georgia Odds to Play in the SEC Title Game

*Editor’s Note: This article will be updated as SEC football games wrap up in the final two weeks of the regular season.*

UPDATE: With a Texas A&M loss to Auburn, Georgia clinched an SEC Championship birth vs. the winner of Texas vs. Texas A&M

The Georgia Bulldogs finished their SEC conference schedule with just two losses. One for Alabama and one for Ole Miss. They have a chance to get into the SEC title game as the several other league members have also suffered multiple losses.

SEC standings:

Per SEC rules:
In the event of a tie between teams competing for a seat in the conference championship game, the following procedures will be applied in descending order until the tie is broken:
A.) Head-to-head competition between the tied teams (Texas A&M and Georgia have not played – Georgia has the head-to-head win over Tennessee)
B.) Record against all regular conference opponents among tied teams (Georgia and Texas) A&M’s regular opponents are Texas and Auburn – if they lose to either, Georgia will clinch a spot in the Conference Championship.

Georgia should be the winner over Texas A&M and Texas under SEC rules.

The simplest way I’ve seen it:

Georgia plays Georgia Tech Friday night at 7:30 on ABC at Sanford Stadium. Georgia has already recorded a head-to-head victory against Texas this season in Austin.

Some fans and coaches around the conference, including Lane Kiffin, have questioned the value of making the conference championship game because, in Georgia’s case, you risk a potential third loss. Given the College Football Playoff committee’s inconsistencies of late, all you can do is take care of your business on the field.

“I’ve talked to other coaches, so I give you that feeling from other coaches. They don’t want to be involved,” Kiffin said of the SEC Championship game. “You know, the reward of a bye versus the risk of being completely eliminated. I mean, that’s a pretty big risk.”
