Finebaum argues that Alabama's stronger resume, including a 3-1 record against Top-25 teams, justifies their selection over SMU, who he claims lacks significant wins.

SEC's CFP Prospects: Rivalry Week Shakes Up Bowl Projections

Paul Finebaum predicts that three SEC teams—Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs, and Tennessee Volunteers—will make it to the College Football Playoff. Despite potential scenarios earlier in the season for more SEC teams, Finebaum believes Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina will be left out due to their 9-3 records and lack of a compelling case for inclusion. He expects the selection committee to find it easier to exclude these teams rather than justify including one over the others.

With two games left against UMass and Georgia Tech, Georgia's playoff position is secure, but their seeding remains a concern.
