"Georgia vs Texas it is": CFB world makes huge SEC championship predictions after Kirby Smart's team makes the cut
The college football season is nearing its end, with Georgia already in the SEC Championship Game. The college football world is buzzing as the big game is set to happen next month.
All eyes are on the Texas Longhorns vs. Texas A&M Aggies game, as the winner of this heated rivalry will face Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs for the conference title. Yahoo Sports reporter Ross Dellenger confirmed the stakes, tweeting that Georgia will meet Texas or Texas A&M in the championship matchup.
Let’s say fans are already hyped, as many are making guesses to see their favorite teams come up.
“So, Georgia vs Texas it is,” one user tweeted, signaling the high expectations for a Bulldogs vs. Longhorns showdown.
"Best case scenario now: - A&M beats Texas next week and beats Georgia in a close one in Atlanta. - Texas, Texas A&M, Georgia, Tennessee all get in," another tweeted.
"Go Aggies!!!" An Aggies fan tweeted.
"Congrats to Texas on reaching the SEC ship in their inaugural season," a fan tweeted.
"So Tennessee is out?" A fan tweeted.
Texas A&M’s chances in this championship path are still alive despite its tough 43–41 loss to Auburn last weekend. Thanks to their key losses from Alabama and Ole Miss, the Aggies remain in contention due to their conference record.
With three losses but only two within the Southeastern Conference, Texas A&M can still make it if it defeats Texas next week. Texas, meanwhile, has only one conference loss, putting it in a strong position for both an SEC title shot and potential College Football Playoff consideration, even if it falls to Texas A&M.
The return of the Texas and Georgia rivalry has stirred up plenty of emotions and memories, with fans reminiscing about the last time Texas and Texas A&M clashed in 2011, which was famously won by Justin Tucker’s 40-yard field goal. Much is on the line, and this upcoming game promises to be a historic showdown that will finally decide who’s facing whom in Atlanta.
Georgia and the stakes in the upcoming SEC Championship
The Georgia Bulldogs have clinched a hard-won spot in the SEC Championship after a 59–21 win over Massachusetts Minutemen, combined with losses from Alabama, Texas A&M and Ole Miss. The Bulldogs are set to take on the Texas vs. Texas A&M game-winner at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Dec. 7.
While the Bulldogs displayed offensive strength against UMass, with quarterback Carson Beck throwing for four touchdowns and Nate Frazier rushing for 136 yards with three scores, coach Kirby Smart saw plenty of room for improvement. He pointed out energy and “want-to” as key factors UGA must bring when it faces rival Georgia Tech in its final regular season game.
Smart hopes that recent defensive breakdowns will serve as a wake-up call for his players, stressing the importance of intensity and focus heading into this crucial stage. As the SEC title game and CFP hopes are on the line, UGA will look to keep building momentum as it prepares for its final stretch.
