It is “Championship Week” in the SEC, at least it could play out that way. The LSU Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs are hosting divisional foes in what could determine the SEC Championship game contenders.
It will start at 2:30 p.m. CT in Athens when the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers travel to Sanford Stadium to take on the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs. That evening the No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide head to Death Valley to take on the No. 10 LSU Tigers from Tigers Stadium. The winners of each game will control their destiny to compete for the conference title in the SEC Championship game on Dec. 3.
There are still plenty of games left on the schedule but those could go a long way in determining the conference champion as well as College Football Playoff seeding.
The two early games feature the Kentucky Wildcats at the Missouri Tigers and the Florida Gators at the Texas A&M Aggies in the 11:00 a.m. CT slot. The lone nonconference game pits the Liberty Flames against the Arkansas Razorbacks at 3:00 p.m. CT.
The final two games kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT with South Carolina Gamecocks facing the Vanderbilt Commodores. The other contest has the Auburn Tigers traveling to face off with the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Stark Vegas. Auburn fired head coach Bryan Harsin on Monday and also hired Mississippi State AD John Cohen for the same job with the Tigers.
There is no shortage of intriguing storylines with this set of games on the docket. As usual, our SEC editorial team made their picks in each of the seven games on the Week 10 schedule.

Is it LSU’s time to take back over the SEC West or will Alabama continue to win the West?
