Should the Crimson Tide reach the SEC title game, it would face Georgia at Mercedes Benz Stadium. Texas A&M’s 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).

If Alabama loses to Texas A&M and finishes 10-3, Georgia could claim the SEC's second top-four seed. Ole Miss is a long shot to reach the championship game. The Rebels are favored against Mississippi State, but they would also need upsets from Auburn and Texas during rivalry weekend -- a steep ask.

No team had punched its ticket to the SEC Championship Game entering Week 14 and rivalry week to begin with. However, that got thrown even more on its head on F

Here's a look at how Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia and Ole Miss can reach the SEC championship game in Atlanta in 2025.

On its face, Texas A&M's 2026 football schedule provides the Aggies a clear path to making it back to the College Football Playoff.

On that slate came three non-conference opponents and nine SEC conference games. A total of 12 games will be played next season with the home opener at Kyle Field on September 5, 2026.

If the Crimson Tide lose to Oklahoma and beat Auburn, they're only in the SEC Championship Game if Texas loses to Georgia or Texas A&M by virtue of tiebreakers over Georgia (H2H) and Ole Miss (common opponents).
