As several SEC teams try to position themselves to make the College Football Playoff, a few of those contenders still have a chance to win a conference title.
There wasn’t much significant movement in the SEC standings in Week 13 thanks to many teams playing Group of Five or FCS opponents. As a result, Texas A&M, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama will head into the final week of the regular season with a chance to clinch a spot in Atlanta, barring how other results unfold.
Still, some notable SEC games took place, starting with Oklahoma defeating Missouri to stay in the playoff hunt. Texas and Vanderbilt powered through their respective games against Arkansas and Kentucky, and the night concluded with Tennessee facing Florida.
Here’s a look at the SEC standings after Week 13:

Who is still alive in SEC title race?
Texas A&M, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama are all still able to reach the SEC championship game.
Texas A&M has the simplest path: beat Texas and the Aggies are in. If Alabama beats Auburn, then the Crimson Tide will advance thanks to having a head-to-head victory over Georgia.
If Texas A&M loses and Alabama wins, it would be the Crimson Tide vs. Georgia. If Alabama loses and Texas A&M wins, the Aggies will face Georgia.
If both Texas A&M and Alabama lose next week, the title game will be Georgia vs. Ole Miss – if the Rebels beat Mississippi State. If the Aggies, Tide and Rebels all lose, A&M would backdoor into a matchup against Georgia.
