Alabama can clinch a berth in the SEC championship game by beating Auburn on Saturday night, but it wouldn\u2019t be facing Texas A&M in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Should the Crimson Tide reach the SEC title game, it would face Georgia at Mercedes Benz Stadium. Texas A&M\u2019s 27-17 loss to Texas on Friday night put the Bulldogs (11-1, 7-1) in the conference championship game and also eliminated the Aggies (11-1, 7-1).<\/p>\n
If Alabama (9-2, 6-1) were to lose to Auburn on Saturday night, Ole Miss (11-1, 7-1) would slide into the SEC championship game against Georgia. The Crimson Tide and Tigers meet at 6:30 p.m. Central Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium, with television coverage on ABC.<\/p>\n
Alabama has the head-to-head tiebreaker on Georgia (based on a 24-21 win in Athens on Sept. 27), but did not play Ole Miss or Texas A&M. However, because of the Crimson Tide\u2019s superior conference opponents\u2019 winning percentage, it would win tiebreakers over the Rebels and Aggies.<\/p>\n
Georgia \u2014 which is in the SEC championship game for the fifth straight time \u2014 beat Ole Miss head-to-head (43-35 on Oct. 18 in Athens), but also did not play Texas A&M. The Bulldogs would also slot ahead of the Aggies based on conference opponents\u2019 winning percentage.<\/p>\n
Alabama and Georgia previously faced off in the SEC championship game in 2012, 2018, 2021 and 2023, with the Crimson Tide winning all four times. Neither Ole Miss nor Texas A&M has ever played in the SEC title game. <\/p>\n
The 2025 SEC championship game is set for 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, on ABC. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alabama can clinch a berth in the SEC championship game by beating Auburn on Saturday night, but it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,261,416,300,154],"class_list":["post-69401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-college-football","tag-college-sports","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
