Greg McElroy picks Georgia over Texas in the SEC Championship

With the season just days away from kicking off in college football, Greg McElroy has made his selections for the SEC Championship.

McElroy made it official with his title game and playoff picks during ‘Always College Football’ on Wednesday. For the Southeastern Conference, he went with Georgia defeating Texas to win the league and earn the top-four seed for the CFP.

“Ultimately, I think the SEC Championship will be decided between the Texas Longhorns and the Georgia Bulldogs,” said McElroy. “We are taking the Georgia Bulldogs to beat Texas in the conference championship.”

McElroy has had his questions about the Bulldog defense coming from last season. However, beyond that, he sees them as the team in the conference with the fewest questions about their roster, especially considering depth and who they have playing at quarterback.

“I look at Georgia, man, and, with all the question marks about their defense, they still have the best personnel. They still have arguably the deepest roster and they still might have the best quarterback in Carson Beck,” said McElroy.

“Still some things to figure out defensively but Georgia has the fewest question marks,” McElroy said. “In a league that’s this deep and this talented, I think they can go toe-to-toe with anybody, even in the event in which they have some losses because of injury.”

Georgia and Texas are the leading contenders coming into kickoff this fall in the SEC. With McElroy having both in Atlanta come December 3rd, the ‘Dawgs are his eventual champion for the league.

“I think Georgia is going to be in the mix at season’s end – 11-1, 10-2 at the very worst,” said McElroy.
