USA TODAY AFCA Coaches Poll released ahead of SEC Championship

The USA TODAY AFCA Coaches Poll has been released following the final week of the 2021 regular season.

Georgia (12-0) and Alabama (11-1) will square off in Atlanta next weekend for the SEC Championship Game. The Bulldogs cruised to a win over Georgia Tech, while Alabama was taken to four overtimes before eventually beating Auburn.

Ohio State fell to Michigan on Saturday, likely eliminating the Buckeyes from the College Football Playoff and giving Michigan a serious shot of making it in.

Cincinnati and Notre Dame both took care of business as well, and Oklahoma State entered its name in the hat as a playoff candidate with a win over Oklahoma.
