We’re 5 weeks into the SEC season and only a couple of weeks into league play for most of the 14 squads.
However, there have already been some surprising results and some shakeups in the conference hierarchy.
But, as we enter Week 6, there are still 6 teams that control their own fate with regards to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta in December.
Per ESPN’s Brandon Zimmerman, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee can all get to Atlanta without any help in the SEC East if they win out. Meanwhile, Alabama, Arkansas and Auburn control their own fate in the West:

The favorites to make it to Atlanta right now are Alabama and Georgia — the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country, respectively.
Can any of those other 4 teams provide some drama? We’ll find out as the season wears on.
