How did Saturday change the SEC race for Alabama?

Alabama needed Florida to beat Georgia. That did not happen. Georgia led 24-0 at halftime in Atlanta and scored 17 points off Florida turnovers. The biggest swing came with 29 seconds left in the first half, when Chris Cole returned a fumble 66 yards for a touchdown after Quintavius Johnson strip-sacked Tramell Jones Jr.

Georgia beat Alabama 20-17 earlier this season, so the Bulldogs hold that head-to-head edge. Georgia and Kentucky now have one SEC loss each. Alabama and Ole Miss have two. The Tide’s path is simple: keep winning and hope the teams above it lose again.
