Despite an impressive 11-1 regular season, No. 3 Texas A&M has been eliminated from the conference title game in Mercedes-Benz Atlanta following a 27-17 loss on the road to No. 16 Texas on Friday, Nov. 28.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWith their loss, the Aggies opened the door for No. 4 Georgia to play a second consecutive week in Mercedes-Benz Stadium following a 16-9 defeat of No. 19 Georgia Tech on Nov. 28. Texas A&M could have made the title game with a loss, but that would have required both No. 6 Mississippi and No. 10 Alabama losing this weekend.
The Rebels finished their season with a 38-19 win against Mississippi State on Friday, guaranteeing Georgia will either play the Rebels or Crimson Tide in Atlanta.
Here's what to know of the SEC championship game, and who will face off for conference supremacy in Atlanta:
