Alabama and Auburn are the only two undefeated SEC teams and the only two with realistic playoff chances. They are on a collision course to meet in the season-ending Iron Bowl. The Tide are favored to take the division (77% to Auburn's 22%, with A&M managing 1%), and are nearly guaranteed a playoff spot, even with a loss. There is a 31% chance both make the playoff, though the Iron Bowl champion likely gets to stay closer, in New Orleans.

Georgia controls their destiny in the East but with 2 losses already (to the West-leading Auburn and Alabama) the margins are tight. The Bulldogs have a 43% chance of winning the division. South Carolina nearly has control too, needing #35 Missouri to drop a game to #26 MSU or #16 Florida (or, ha, #107 Arkansas). Georgia and South Carolina meet next week in Columbia.

The Florida Gators have the easiest conference schedule remaining and thus a distinct chance of winning the East, 33%. The Missouri Tigers have a 3% chance of going to Atlanta.

Overall Playoff Chances:
87% Alabama
40% Auburn
<1% Texas A&M, Georgia, LSU, Florida, South Carolina

If they win-out:
100% Alabama and Auburn
27% Texas A&M
7% Georgia (still to play #19 South Carolina)
<1% LSU, Florida, South Carolina

Of the top four SEC West teams, only A&M and Auburn have played each other, setting up a riveting final 4 weeks.
