UPDATE: With a Texas A&M Loss to Auburn, Georgia has clinched an SEC Championship birth vs the winner of Texas vs Texas A&M

The Georgia Bulldogs have finished their SEC conference schedule with just two losses. One to Alabama, and another to Ole Miss. They have a chance to be in the SEC Title game considering the several other league members have multiple losses as well.

SEC Championship Game Scenarios

SEC Standings:

• Texas (6-1)
• Texas A&M (5-2)
• Georgia (6-2)
• Tennessee (5-2)

Per SEC Rules:
In the event of a tie between teams competing for a place in the conference championship game, the folllowing procedures will be used in descending order until the tie is broken:
A.) Head to head competition among the tied teams (Texas A&M and Georgia have not played — Georgia has the head-to-head win over Tennessee)
B.) Record versus all common conference opponents among the tied teams (Georgia and Texas A&M's common opponents are Texas and Auburn — if they lose to either, Georgia clinches a spot in the Conference Championship.

Georgia, per the SEC Rules, should be play the winner of Texas A&M and Texas.

Simplest way I've seen it put:

Georgia plays Georgia Tech on ABC on Friday night inside Sanford Stadium at 7:30. Georgia has a head-to-head win already this season against Texas, in Austin.

Some fans, and coaches around the conference including Lane Kiffin, have called into question the value of making a conference championship game because you are risking a potential third loss in the case of Georgia. Considering the College Football Playoff committee's inconsistencies as of late, all you can do is handle your business on the field.

"I’ve talked to other coaches, so I’ll just kind of give you the feeling from some other coaches that. They don’t want to be in it," Kiffin said about the SEC Championship game. "You know, the reward to get a bye versus the risk to get knocked out completely. I mean, that’s a pretty big risk."
