The SEC championship race is stocked full of highly-rated teams headed into Week 5. The conference represents five of the top six teams in the AP Poll, headlined by No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Georgia.
The Longhorns and Bulldogs were the popular picks to make the SEC title game in Atlanta coming into the season. Texas is coming off a College Football Playoff appearance, and Georgia has made the SEC championship game in three consecutive seasons.
But nothing is a given when it comes to SEC play. There is certainly a scenario where another program like No. 5 Tennessee finds itself with a chance to earn a conference title before its all said and done.
According to Fox Sports analyst and former national champion head coach, Urban Meyer, the Volunteers are the pick to meet Georgia for the SEC crown.
