The SEC dominated yet another weekend of college football once again following two high stakes, headlining matchups between some of the top teams in the nation. With Georgia<\/a><\/strong> securing a big road win over top-ranked Texas<\/a><\/strong> and Tennessee<\/a><\/strong> handing Alabama<\/a><\/strong> their second loss of the season on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you move Georgia and Texas off the board and then you start to figure it out,\u201d Finebaum said<\/a>. \u201cI think LSU<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s in really good shape, even if they lost to Texas A&M<\/a><\/strong>, they still have a path probably just beating Alabama. I say that because Alabama and LSU both have games against Oklahoma<\/a><\/strong>, but those are no longer games that we talk about. Those are automatic after what we saw yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eight SEC teams are currently ranked in the Top 25 of the AP Poll and are all vying for one of the precious 12 spots in the postseason. As Texas and Georgia seem like virtual locks after their matchup on Saturday and bodies of work up until this point.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, several other teams in the league have various different avenues of potentially making it to the College Football Playoff. Highlighted by the only two teams undefeated teams in conference play, LSU and Texas A&M, both squaring off this weekend and two-loss teams like Alabama and Ole Miss<\/a><\/strong> still having a chance if the cookie crumbles in their favor. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s really a matter of the path, and that\u2019s why Georgia so desperately needed to win in Austin. They have a game at Ole Miss, and that\u2019s a mystery to me. Ole Miss is probably the most intriguing team, they have two losses. But could they be Georgia?\u201d Finebaum asked. \u201cYeah, it\u2019s possible.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cTennessee now looks like a playoff team, you have to say LSU. I know I\u2019m putting too many in, because we\u2019re not sitting here looking at the 16 schools and the schedule. But I think the SEC is back to four, the other day I was wondering, outside shot of the a fifth depending.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several of the conference\u2019s top teams still have to face one another, which will definitely help sort out the playoff race as it currently stands. Making the remainder of the regular season even more fascinating as the stakes continue to rise week after week. <\/p>\n
