College football rankings: SEC teams in updated Coaches Poll, AP Top 25 after Week 13
It all comes down to Alabama and Georgia. Rivalry week gave the Crimson Tide a scare, but the two teams will meet in the SEC championship game for the third time in the last six years.
Alabama pulled out a last-second win over Auburn in the Iron Bowl on Saturday, with Jalen Milroe's 31-yard touchdown on fourth-and-long giving Alabama the 27-24 victory and its College Football Playoff dreams alive.
Georgia cruised to victory over Georgia Tech to maintain their undefeated record.
But other SEC teams also made a strong case for a New Year's Six bowl during rivalry week. Missouri dismantled Arkansas 48-14 and Ole Miss beat Mississippi State 17-7 to bring their regular season records to 10-2.
