For all the chaos roiling the rest of college football right now, all the questions of who will make the College Football Playoff and who will rage from the sidelines, the SEC championship seems fairly stable. After the crab pot that was the SEC’s regular season, it’s a little surprising to see the top two teams at the beginning of the season end up as the top two at the end.
When Georgia and Texas kick off on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (where the Longhorns are a 3-point favorite), there won’t be the drama of, say, the Mountain West, ACC or Big 12 championships, where the winner will join the CFP field and the loser will be out.
