ATHENS, Ga. - After a dramatic weekend of college football upsets, the Georgia Bulldogs have officially clinched their fourth consecutive appearance in the SEC Championship Game.
Alabama’s loss on Saturday paved the way for Georgia (9-2, 6-2 SEC) to secure their spot in the Dec. 7 matchup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Bulldogs will face either Texas or Texas A&M, who are set to play this Saturday to determine the opponent.
Georgia previously defeated Texas 30-15 on the road earlier this season but did not face Texas A&M, leaving the potential matchup shrouded in anticipation.
