It’s been a fascinating year for this rebuilt conference, and it looks like it will go out with a bang.
Alabama, which never got going against Oklahoma, saw its playoff chances suffer a cataphoric blow when the Crimson Tide laid an egg. Texas A&M, which has been largely excellent under new coach Mike Elko, couldn’t outlast Auburn in a wild overtime.
The end result is, well, a bit of a mess. The conference that has largely dominated college football in recent memory has largely cannibalized itself in recent weeks. And we all frankly need to regroup.
The Bulldogs and Vols are in prime position to benefit from the SEC chaos, although the outcome is much juicer than that. The winner of the Texas-Texas A&M game will join the Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game.
