SEC dominance shakes up the College Football Playoff as five teams battle for the crown—can Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, or Texas A&M chart the toughest path to the National Championship? Georgia’s seeding sparks debate, Ole Miss’s resilience without Lane Kiffin raises questions, and Oklahoma’s gritty defense faces playoff-tested Alabama in a highly anticipated rematch. 

John Williams and Chris Gordy break down the playoff bracket, highlighting Georgia’s controversial positioning, Oregon’s edge over Ole Miss, and whether Indiana or Texas Tech can keep up with SEC heavyweights. The conversation spotlights Oklahoma’s defensive adjustments, Alabama’s injury woes with Ty Simpson and Josh Cuevas, and the Sooners’ search for a consistent run game. Find out if Oklahoma’s formula can topple the Crimson Tide again and what it’ll take for any SEC squad to survive the grueling playoff gauntlet.
