The winner of Texas A&M vs. Texas will face Georgia in the SEC Championship game

Despite losing to Auburn, Texas A&M can still reach the SEC Title game with a win over the Texas Longhorns

Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2) left Alabama feeling as low as possible after losing to Auburn in quadruple overtime in one of the more heartbreaking losses in the last ten seasons.

After holding a 31-28 lead late in regulation after returning from a 21-0 deficit, A&M’s defense allowed Auburn QB Payton Thorne to march down the field, leading to the game-tying field goal. Trading touchdowns and two field goals, the Tigers stopped the Aggies on the two-point try in the fourth OT session, ending the game.

While many of us, outside of those paying close attention to Alabama’s struggles against Oklahoma, didn’t believe the Aggies had a chance to make the SEC Title game with a loss to the Tigers, Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger confirmed Alabama’s loss to the Sooners pushes Georgia into the Championship game, while the winner of the regular season finale between Texas A&M and Texas with determine the Title matchup.

Texas took care of business against Kentucky at home, defeating the Wildcats 31-14. The Aggies’ first-half struggles are worrying, but they could be a one-game sample due to playing on the road in a tough environment.

However, being able to return to Kyle Field in front of a sold-out crown doesn’t help this A&M team start fast and finish the job, the Aggies are headed for another 8-4 finish and meaningless bowl game while the Longhorns compete for an SEC Championship and a second consecutive CFP berth.

Georgia clinches SEC title berth, awaits opponent

Georgia clinches berth in 2024 SEC championship after chaotic upsets across the SEC

The Georgia Bulldogs will play the winner of the Texas Longhorns at Texas A&M Aggies game in the SEC championship. Georgia is in the SEC championship for a fourth consecutive season.

Georgia made the SEC championship after Alabama lost to Oklahoma, Ole Miss lost to Florida, and Auburn upset Texas A&M. Georgia’s SEC schedule is finished. UGA beat UMass 59-21 in Week 13 while the rest of college football had one of the most chaotic weekends of the year. The Bulldogs are 9-2 overall and 6-2 in SEC play.

The 2024 SEC championship game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, at 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 7. Last season, Georgia lost to Alabama 27-24 in the SEC championship.

Georgia beat Texas 30-15 in Austin, Texas, back in October. Georgia has only played Texas A&M once since the Aggies joined the SEC. Georgia defeated Texas A&M 19-13 back in 2019.

“I’m worried about Georgia Tech,” said Kirby Smart on the SEC championship race after Georgia’s win over UMass. “That’s all I’m thinking about. I could care less about anybody else in the world but my team and how we get ready in six days for Georgia Tech.”

Many members of the media and Georgia fans were questioning if it would be worth it for Georgia to play in the SEC championship, but that doesn’t matter any more. UGA will play in Atlanta.

Reaction: Officials don’t review questionable Alabama fourth down catch

The officials of the Alabama-Georgia game elected not to review a controversial Alabama fourth down catch play.

The officials of the SEC championship elected not to review a controversial Alabama fourth down conversion. Alabama wide receiver Isaiah Bond appeared to catch a fourth down play for about 20 yards. Alabama snapped the ball without the playing being reviewed. Alabama went on to score a touchdown a few plays later.

When taking a closer look at Isaiah Bond’s catch, the ball clearly moved after he hit the ground. Bond did have some control of the ball. However, CBS officiating expert Gene Steratone said after halftime the play should have been reviewed, and he did not think it was a catch.

The officials later went on to review a 51-yard catch by Georgia wide receiver Arian Smith. Go figure.

The officials have a tough job, but they have to review close plays like Isaiah Bond’s catch. They may have ruled that the call on the field stands, but the play was certainly worth a review.

Hype video: Georgia and LSU face off in the SEC championship

Nick Chubb and Sony Michel get UGA football fans hyped for the SEC championship against LSU!

The Georgia Bulldogs face the LSU Tigers in the 2022 SEC championship game.

Georgia will have a chance to win its first SEC championship since 2017. Georgia lost to LSU in the 2019 SEC championship.

Former Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has exceeded expectations in his first season with the Tigers.

Georgia (12-0, 8-0) and LSU (9-3, 6-2) impressed a lot of folks this year. Nobody in the preseason media poll predicted LSU would win the SEC West. Georgia lost a record-breaking 15 players to the 2022 NFL draft, but still went undefeated for a second consecutive regular season. The Dawgs have won 27 straight regular-season games.

Kirby Smart and Georgia football have represented the SEC East in five of the last six SEC championships. Georgia has lost some heartbreakers in the SEC championship over the years and are looking to change that in 2022.

Georgia has appeared in nine SEC championship games. The Bulldogs have faced LSU in four of their nine appearances. Georgia is 1-3 against LSU in SEC championship games.

Former Georgia running backs Sony Michel and Nick Chubb narrate a hype video to get Georgia football fans fired up for the 2022 SEC championship.

Sony Michel plays for the Los Angeles Chargers. Nick Chubb stars for the Cleveland Browns. Michel and Chubb did not win a national championship, but the duo won an SEC championship in 2017 when they returned for their senior seasons to play for each other.

Georgia fans are expected to travel well for the SEC championship, which will be played in Atlanta, Georgia, and will be televised on CBS. The game kicks off at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday.

TV, commentators set for Georgia-LSU in the SEC championship

The 2022 SEC championship between Georgia and LSU will be televised on CBS

The Georgia Bulldogs play the LSU Tigers in the 2022 SEC championship. The two teams met in the 2019 SEC championship.

A lot has changed since the two programs met in 2019. Quarterback Joe Burrow and LSU won the national championship in 2019. Georgia won the 2021 national championship, but lost in the 2021 SEC championship to Alabama. Additionally, LSU fired head coach Ed Orgeron and hired Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly.

Georgia (12-0, 8-0) and LSU (9-3, 6-2) exceeded expectations in 2022. Nobody in the preseason media poll voted for LSU to win the SEC West. Georgia lost 15 players to the 2022 NFL draft, but still managed to go undefeated for a second consecutive regular season.

The 2022 SEC championship will be televised on CBS and will kick off at 4 p.m. EST on Dec. 3. Brad Nessler will call the game’s play-by-play. Gary Danielson will serve as an analyst, and Jenny Dell will be the game’s sideline reporter.
