ESPN predicts winner of Auburn football vs Alabama
Digest more
Should the Crimson Tide reach the SEC title game, it would face Georgia at Mercedes Benz Stadium. Texas A&M’s 27-17 loss to Texas on Friday night put the Bulldogs (11-1, 7-1) in the conference championship game and also eliminated the Aggies (11-1, 7-1).
With a road matchup against rival Auburn looming, the Tigers separate the Crimson Tide from an SEC championship appearance and, potentially, a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide is the consensus road favorite. BetMGM has Alabama as a 6-point favorite against the Tigers.
Alabama football still has a good shot to make the College Football Playoff if it loses the SEC Championship Game, but it's not a guarantee. These three teams could get in the way.
