The Alabama Crimson Tide has the best betting odds to win the SEC Championship. Let's consider the impact the game will have on Playoff byes and seeding, for the winner and the loser.
Two SEC football teams control their SEC Championship Game destiny. One is the Alabama Crimson Tide. The other one is the Texas A&M Aggies. All SEC teams with one or two conference losses remain in contention for a December trip to Atlanta. Mathematically, even 3-loss LSU is in contention, but potential tiebreakers will narrow the group to far less than the current 10 teams with three or fewer conference losses.
