"Oklahoma, its playoff hopes on the brink, rode into Tuscaloosa and exposed the flaws in Alabama's seemingly impenetrable armor with a relentless defense that tormented Ty Simpson and nabbed a trio of takeaways. Florida, having shed the weight of a coach forever on the hot seat, went to Oxford with sights set on an upset, pushing Ole Miss well into the fourth quarter."
"And Georgia, welcoming Texas to Sanford Stadium for the first time ever, took its share of body blows, only to deliver the knockout punch with a third quarter drive that included a pair of gutsy fourth down calls, before rolling to a 35-10 win that may have ended the Longhorns postseason dreams. Nothing came easily in the SEC on Saturday, a day with so much"
The SEC's historical dominance by a few powers has given way to greater parity in 2025, with nearly half of conference games decided by seven points or fewer. Team fortunes shifted frequently during Week 12, producing dramatic comebacks and surprising defeats. Texas A&M rallied from a halftime deficit against South Carolina. Oklahoma's defense exposed Alabama's vulnerabilities and forced multiple turnovers. Florida pushed Ole Miss deep into the fourth quarter after a coaching change. Georgia absorbed early punishment from Texas before converting critical fourth downs in a third-quarter drive en route to a 35-10 victory.
