Seven SEC football teams are in realistic contention for a CFB Playoff spot. Four of them are in strong positions, with three more on the bubble.
What has happened so far in the 2025 college football season will continue to matter. For Playoff contenders, what matters more are the elimination games in Week 11 and beyond. SEC Football already had an elimination game in Week 10. Oklahoma survived with a win. For the Tennessee Vols, the loss in Knoxville knocked them out of contention for a Playoff spot.
