Week 7 of the 2020 college football season is the last without Big Ten action, so things will only get better from here.
The SEC is the only conference to ever get two teams into the College Football Playoff, which happened in the 2017 season when conference champion Georgia and at-large Alabama both got in. They would meet in a memorable national championship game when the world was introduced to Tua Tagovailoa as he threw a walk-off touchdown pass in overtime for the Tide.
It’s very possible the SEC could get two teams into this year’s playoff and also that it could be Georgia and Alabama again. No question the marquee matchup of Week 7 is the No. 3 Dawgs visiting the No. 2 Tide at 8 p.m. ET in a potential SEC Championship Game preview. Needless to say, it would be tougher for Saturday’s loser to reach the conference title game, much less the playoff. Although, both should be favored in the rest of their regular-season games. The Tide are 6-point favorites and on a 33-game home winning streak, winning those by an average, ironically, of around 33 points per game.
