The No. 2 Texas Longhorns and the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs are locked in for rematch in Atlanta for the SEC Championship. This rematch follows their October game, where Georgia emerged victorious in Austin with a score of 30-15.
However, it’s worth noting that the chances of Texas or Georgia being excluded from the College Football Playoff are extremely slim. A win for Texas guarantees them a first-round bye. Conversely, a loss for Texas could lead to their placement in No. 5 or No. 6 spot, where they would face a potential lower seeded team at DKR. Following that, it’ll be a bowl game quarterfinal if they win, semi-final then the a trip right back to Atlanta, if they win out. Very fluid situation for the committee to unpack.
Tomorrow is selection Sunday, and we should know then. Here’s a look at possible projections for Texas.
So who did the ESPN College GameDay crew pick?
Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler are ineligible for picks as they are calling the SEC Championship on ABC later this afternoon. Lee Corso was not in attendance because of a minor procedure.
Rece Davis announces that Lee Corso had a minor procedure and that College GameDay will look forward to getting him back for its postseason coverage.
