Although the potential for consequential chaos in the SEC Football Power Rankings was largely averted, there is a new front runner and other up and down movement in the aftermath of college football's final weekend of the 2025 regular season.
Texas A&M, unbeaten at 11-0 heading into the final weekend against longtime rival Texas, couldn't finish off its first perfect regular season since 1939, falling to the Longhorns 27-20. Moreover, the loss knocked the Aggies out of the SEC Championship Game, which will now feature Georgia and Alabama, both winners on rivalry weekend. That game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday.
