Rivalry week has finally arrived as the SEC is set to close out the 2022 college football regular season. It begins on Thursday with the annual Egg Bowl featuring Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
The annual nonconference games feature in-state rivals for the Florida Gators, Kentucky Wildcats, Georgia Bulldogs, and South Carolina Gamecocks. The conference slate of in-state rivals has Vanderbilt-Tennessee and Auburn-Alabama in the annual Iron Bowl matchup.
The remainder of the games involve matchups with Arkansas-Missouri and LSU-Texas A&M. Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Auburn all need wins to become bowl eligible. This would make 13 of the conference’s 14 teams eligible for the postseason. Only the Aggies have officially been eliminated.
As usual, our SEC editorial team made their picks in each of the 10 games on the Week 13 schedule.
