It’s finally Rivalry week, which means it’s time for some bold predictions. The committee once again placed five SEC teams in the CFP top ten. Ole Miss and Oregon traded spots, but everything else stayed exactly the same.
The biggest remaining question seems to be Alabama as they travel to Auburn, and whether or not a 10-2 Vanderbilt team would be in the field if they beat Tennessee on the road this weekend.
There are also a lot of scenarios about who gets in the SEC Championship game if there is any chaos this weekend. My prediction is that Georgia, Ole Miss and Oklahoma all win this weekend. Alabama will beat Auburn, and then will beat Texas A&M in Atlanta to be the SEC Champion and receive a first round bye.
