SEC football to be wild and crazy during Thanksgiving weekend:
Whom will come through this weekend to get to SEC title game?:
GDW Analysis:
After very much analysis in saying last weekend in Southeastern Conference football was lackluster, that is not the tempo as six conference games key the schedule on Thanksgiving weekend.
Texas A&M sits atop the leaderboard at 7 & 0 in conference play.
The Aggies are followed by Georgia who is 7 & 1 and done with their SEC schedule.
Alabama and Ole Miss share a 6 & 1 mark in the conference.
Ole Miss takes center stage on Friday at 11:00 in the Egg Bowl game at Mississippi State.
Texas A&M seeks a berth to the conference title bout if the Aggies can win Friday evening at Texas.
For Alabama, the Crimson Tide will be in the finale of the conference schedule Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in visiting Auburn for the Iron Bowl.
The top two teams from this group will move on and play in the championship December 6 in Atlanta.
According to media reports, Texas A&M and Alabama control their own destiny.
Wins by A&M and Alabama and the two will lay it on the line of whom will be the best out of this ever popular hotly contested conference.
Georgia is seeking to be at Mercedes Benz Stadium the following weekend after they are playing in Atlanta Friday against arch rival Georgia Tech.
Georgia would need Alabama to lose to Auburn since the Tide has the head to head on the Bulldogs with a victory in Athens September 27.
Alabama is trying to keep the Crimson Nation calm for victory in Auburn is a must after the recent debacle in their SEC loss to Oklahoma.
Auburn is playing to gain a bowl bid with the Tigers 5 & 6. Knocking off the Tide will ease aches and pains from a season that never was on cue once the Tigers started their SEC schedule.
Currently in the college football playoff standings, Texas A&M is 3rd, Georgia 4th, Ole Miss 5th, Oklahoma 8th and Alabama 10th.
Oklahoma gets LSU to visit on Saturday. The Sooners are 5 & 2 in the SEC and 9 & 2 for the season. Beating LSU will be worthwhile for it may be enough for the Sooners to host a first round CFB playoff game.
Ole Miss is up against a stacked deck in regards of appearing in the conference title game.
The Rebels have a loss to Georgia.
Ole Miss would need Texas A&M to stumble and for sure, Alabama to lose to Auburn.
Also, is this the final time in a regular season the Rebels will be coached by Lane Kiffin?
LSU is putting together a strong package deal to Kiffin who is to make a decision on his coaching future once the Egg Bowl game has gone final.
