Texas A&M SEC Championship clinch scenarios
Texas A&M will clinch a berth in the SEC Championship Game with a win over Texas this weekend.
If Texas A&M loses to Texas, the Aggies still reach the title game if Auburn defeats Alabama and Mississippi State beats Ole Miss.
While Texas A&M currently has the inside track, there are still other contenders. Alabama, Ole Miss, and Georgia also remain in the hunt. However, the Aggies are the only team able to guarantee a spot with a win in their rivalry showdown against No. 17 Texas. Georgia has completed its conference slate and depends on other results, while Alabama and Ole Miss need a victory and specific losses by their rivals.
A win over Texas would secure A&M's first-ever SEC Championship Game appearance, a crowning breakthrough for the program since joining the conference. Alternatively, their chances hinge on the outcomes in the Iron Bowl and the Egg Bowl, with Auburn and Mississippi State needing to win for the Aggies to benefit from the multi-team tiebreakers.
