Texas (7-2, 4-1)

If the Longhorns beat Georgia, Arkansas and Texas A&M, they're in the SEC Championship Game if Oklahoma wins out and Ole Miss loses one of its two remaining games to Florida or Mississippi State. That would leave Texas, Alabama and Texas A&M as the three 7-1 teams with the Longhorns and Crimson Tide getting the nod.
