Greg McElroy gave his prediction for which 2 teams will make it to Atlanta for the SEC title game, and which program will raise the trophy.
According to SP+, the Pigs have a 1.4 percent chance (roughly 70/1) to win the SEC in 2025, so there’s a smidge of value there if you’re feeling frisky. Sam Pittman has been in charge of this program for six years, and he’s essentially traded good and bad seasons since taking over in Fayetteville.

Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy made headlines Thursday on “Always College Football,” predicting that Alabama will be the underdog when it opens SEC play at Georgia on Sept. 27.
Alabama returned to its overwhelming ways in the 1975 Iron Bowl, blanking Jordan’s final Auburn team 28-0. Richard Todd ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more for the Crimson Tide, which ended third in the final rankings after besting Penn State 13-6 in the Sugar Bowl and finishing 11-1.
