SEC title game scenarios revealed per ABC broadcast
In the penultimate week of the 2024 regular season, the SEC Championship race has become a whole lot more clear. After the afternoon slate was complete, ABC put together title game scenarios for fans at home.
Alabama, Georgia, and the two Texas schools can still make it to Atlanta. One team not mentioned by ABC is Tennessee. Despite having two losses as other teams, tiebreakers apparently cannot go in favor of the Volunteers. While they can still compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff, the SEC championship drought will extend another year.
At the time of posting, the SEC’s primetime games have kicked off. Two of the teams alive to make the conference championship are in action, only adding to the drama. You can check out all the scenarios below.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Wins out & Missouri to win once
One of these has already been accomplished, as Missouri took down Mississippi State in the Saturday afternoon slate. Alabama now controls its own destiny for another trip to Atlanta.
First up will be a matchup against Oklahoma, facing the Sooners on the road. Auburn will be waiting for Alabama in Tuscaloosa for another edition of the Iron Bowl.
Georgia Bulldogs
Texas A&M wins out & Alabama loses once
According to the ABC broadcast, Georgia will need Texas A&M to win its final two games plus have Alabama lose at least one more. This would set up for a Georgia-Texas A&M game in the SEC Championship.
Georgia is already done with conference play. Now, a lot of eyes in Athens will be on the SEC’s primetime showdowns.

The Aggies are on the Plains, needing to battle against Auburn. Then the showdown against Texas where intensity from Kyle Field will be at an all-time high.
