Georgia Bulldogs experienced a roller-coaster of a game against the Texas Longhorns in the SEC championship. Just when hope seemed to dwindle with their quarterback Carson Beck getting injured, backup Gunner Stockton stepped up to the challenge. Stockton's energetic performance in the second half was pivotal, guiding Georgia to a nail-biting 22-19 overtime victory. With their third SEC title under Kirby Smart's coaching, the Bulldogs secured a coveted first-round bye in the 12-team College Football Playoff. Meanwhile, Texas faces regrouping challenges, having lost the topper to its debut SEC season. Beck's injury remains a concern, but the Bulldogs showcased mental tenacity that may serve them well in the playoffs. Both teams now turn their focus to preparing for the playoffs, where Georgia's rest comes in handy while Texas seeks redemption.
