This week is full of clashes of titans across college football with none earning more hype than the matchup between the No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs and the No. 1 Texas Longhorns.

Unfortunately, for diehard UGA fans, they’ll have to wait until the end of the day, at 7:30 p.m. ET, for the game to start. For those of you dying for something to do while the game starts, you’re in luck. There are several more matchups that can impact Georgia’s chances at the SEC championship and the College Football Playoff.

No. 7 Alabama vs. No. 11 Tennessee

This one has by far the most implications on Georgia’s chances at the SEC championship. If it weren’t for the Georgia-Texas barnburner, this matchup would no doubt be featured on “College GameDay”. Alabama and Tennessee have each shown signs of insane offensive strength, but they’ve also shown signs of weakness, with both teams being upset by inferior SEC competition.

If Georgia loses against the Longhorns tonight, then team that wins this game could jump them in the rankings and be in line to play Texas in the SEC championship. Out of these two hated rivals, Georgia fans will probably be cheering for Tennessee to win since the Bulldogs have already lost to ‘Bama and play Tennessee at home later in the year.

The Alabama at Tennessee game will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
