SEC Championship Game participants won’t be finalized until after final week
Published:
Although the SEC’s regular season is winding to a close, participants in the conference title game are still unknown.
Texas A&M‘s comeback win over South Carolina had significant ramifications for the SEC Championship race. According to Chuck Dunlap, who serves as the SEC’s communications director, the participants in this year’s SEC title race won’t be known until after the Week 14 slate is over. No team will be able to clinch a berth until that day’s games are complete.
The SEC will have games on Nov. 28 and Nov. 29 to close out the regular season on Thanksgiving weekend.
Texas A&M’s win over the Gamecocks means the Aggies can clinch a spot in the SEC Championship Game with a win on Saturday. Alabama is also in position to clinch a berth if it wins out.
However, any further slip-ups from the Crimson Tide or Aggies could cause significant chaos down the stretch. Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas all have 1 conference loss as of this writing (the Bulldogs and Longhorns play each other later in the day on Saturday night).
Texas A&M will face Texas in Week 14. If the Longhorns don’t lose over the next couple weeks, that game could be for a berth in the conference title game.
