Paul Finebaum breaks down College Football Playoff scenarios for the SEC
Published:
There is a lot of football still to be played in the SEC. But as November approaches, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama all have a shot to earn College Football Playoff berths.
The Bulldogs and Volunteers are 2 of just 6 undefeated teams remaining in the country, but that will change on Nov. 5 when they meet in Athens.
On Wednesday’s edition of ESPN’s “Get Up,” college football analyst Paul Finebaum discussed the CFP race for the SEC teams with a chance and offered his thoughts on how things might play out.
“Well, if you went with the odds, Georgia and Tennessee meet next week. Georgia moves on from that game,” Finebaum said. “And then Alabama has an LSU and Ole Miss back-to-back on the road task. I think that’s extremely difficult. … But Alabama will be a pretty big favorite in both games.
“So then we see a likelihood of Alabama and Georgia meeting in the SEC Championship game. Georgia will be favored. And if Georgia wins that game, it opens the door for Tennessee to sneak in over Alabama with two losses.”
