SEC chaos helps Georgia clinch SEC title game spot to play Texas, A&M winner

A chaotic day of SEC football means Georgia has clinched a spot in the SEC Championship Game. Will face the winner of Texas vs. Texas A&M.

Georgia is in. Now it’s up to the Longhorns, who will trigger a rematch with the Bulldogs if they can beat the rival Aggies next Saturday. Texas took care of business at DKR against Kentucky, 31-14.

Thanks to a 24-17 Ole Miss loss to Florida and a befuddling 24-3 loss by Alabama at Oklahoma, Georgia clinches a spot in the SEC title game.

Despite Texas A&M’s 43-41 quadruple overtime loss to 1-5 Auburn, the Aggies still can get into the SEC title game with a win over Texas.

In the event of a three-way tie with Georgia, Texas and A&M, the Horns would finish third because they lost to the other two teams. If there is a four-way tie with Georgia, Texas, A&M and Tennessee the Aggies would actually finish first based on highest conference opponent win percentage among the teams.

So, next week’s rivalry renewal with A&M is still for a spot in the SEC championship game. It might be the biggest game in the history of the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry, which hasn’t been played since 2011. Even ESPN’s College GameDay will be there.
