Overview

  • Georgia routed No. 10 Texas 35-10 to move to 9-1, and ESPN’s model now projects the Bulldogs as a near lock for the 12-team College Football Playoff.
  • Georgia has completed SEC play at 7-1 and still needs help to reach the SEC Championship Game, with three-team tiebreak scenarios potentially decided by strength of schedule.
  • Texas A&M erased a 30-3 halftime deficit to beat South Carolina 31-30, remaining the SEC’s lone unbeaten in league play and improving to 10-0 overall.
  • Oklahoma stunned No. 4 Alabama 23-21 in Tuscaloosa, putting the Sooners at 8-2 with an at-large path if they win out and complicating Alabama’s route under SEC tiebreakers.
  • Analysts now expect the SEC to place at least four teams in the CFP field, as Georgia’s surge has been fueled by QB Gunner Stockton’s four-touchdown performance against Texas.
