The Week 12 SEC slate provided plenty of intrigue and drama. Texas A&M overcame a massive deficit to stay unbeaten. Alabama fell at home to Oklahoma. And Georgia showed it owns Texas.
Interestingly, no spots in the SEC Championship Game will be decided until Rivalry Week, which adds to the drama. Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia and Texas A&M are all still vying for 2 spots in Atlanta.
With regards to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI), the SEC is still outside the top 3. Ohio State, Indiana and Oregon, in that order, lock down the top 3 spots. Georgia leads the SEC at No. 4.
Alabama fell out of that No. 4 spot down to No. 6 after the loss to the Sooners.
Here’s a look at the full FPI top 25 this week:
- Ohio State
