The margin for error is thin.
Just look at last season. If Alabama had lost to Auburn on the final week of the regular season then the Tide wouldn’t have played for the national championship. Thanks to a head-to-head tiebreaker, Ole Miss would have represented the West in the SEC title game, and there’s a chance that no one from the conference would have reached the playoff.
You see, sometimes it comes down to one game.
Predicting that must-win game isn’t easy, but that’s what we’re attempting to do this week on the SEC Blog.
