The SEC championship on Saturday will now feature a matchup of top four teams, as No. 1 Alabama will face No. 4 Georgia, whose promotion from the fifth spot on Tuesday night marked the first change to the College Football Playoff selection committee's semifinal spots in four weeks.
Georgia replaced Michigan, which sank to No. 7 after losing to rival Ohio State on Saturday in embarrassing fashion. In spite of the Buckeyes' 62-39 dismantling of Michigan, they remain behind No. 5 Oklahoma at No. 6, which is still a significant boost from the No. 10 spot they've been stuck in for each of the past four rankings.
