With two weeks left in the season there is still so much unknown about who will be playing in the SEC Championship game. Even Georgia, who is the only one loss team in the SEC, hasn't locked up their spot in the SEC Championship game yet, but they currently have a greater than 99 percent chance to get there.

Their opponent at this point will either be Texas, Alabama or Tennessee with Oklahoma and Ole Miss having extremely long odds to get to Atlanta. According to the FanDuel Sportsbook though it is Texas who has the best chance to face Georgia in Atlanta, but one Texas fan made it clear that they want nothing to do with Georgia.

Texas may not want to see Georgia in the SEC Championship game

Georgia will be favored against whoever they play in the SEC Championship game. They are the No. 1 team in the country and the team currently sitting atop the SEC standings, but most importantly they look like the best team in the country right now. Georgia just beat Missouri 48-21 which marked their third blowout win against a ranked opponent in a row after they beat Florida by 19 two weeks ago and Ole Miss by 35 last week.

This Georgia team would be scary for anyone to play, but that is especially the case for Texas who is 0-3 against them since joining the SEC. They've also lost to Georgia every way possible as they lost at home in 2024, on the road in Athens last season and in the 2024 SEC Championship game.

Texas' team would probably love the opportunity to finally get a win over Georgia and win the SEC for the first time in program history, but it's clear that some of their fans want nothing to do with Georgia.

Georgia's SEC Championship game opponent is still up in the air

Texas, Alabama and Tennessee are the three times tied with two losses in the SEC who Georgia most likely would play in the SEC Championship game. While Texas has the best odds to be Georgia's opponent, Alabama is also in a strong position to get there as well.

If all three teams finish conference play at 7-2 it is the Crimson Tide who is the most likely team to advance to Atlanta. That isn't a guarantee though because the tiebreaker would come down to their opponents' winning percentage, but right now it is Alabama who has the edge over Texas and Tennessee.

Vegas oddsmakers give Texas the edge to get to Atlanta though because they expect Tennessee to lose again by the end of the season. The Vols haven't looked that great in recent weeks and have to play LSU this weekend in a game they are predicted by Vegas to lose, but their season finale at Vanderbilt in two weeks isn't a guaranteed win either. If Tennessee loses a game then Texas has the edge over Alabama because the Longhorns are 4-0 against their common opponents while Alabama is 3-1.

If Texas somehow loses another game, which is unlikely since they play Arkansas and Texas A&M in their final two games, and Tennessee and Alabama are tied at 7-2 then the Vols will head to Atlanta because of their head-to-head victory over the Tide earlier this season.

Alabama only has one more SEC game this season against Auburn. They will more than likely win that game, so the SEC race will come down to if Tennessee can beat the odds and win their final two games and if Texas can handle their business against two weaker opponents like they are expected to do.

Right now though Texas is Georgia's most likely opponent in the SEC Championship game, but if all three teams win out then there could be a rematch with Alabama looming.
