Former Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs head coach Dan Mullen has predicted who he thinks will win the SEC championship. Mullen currently serves as a college football analyst for ESPN.
He predicts that the Texas Longhorns will defeat the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2024 SEC championship game. Interestingly, Mullen thinks that the Alabama Crimson Tide will finish No. 6 in the SEC. He picks Missouri to finish third and Ole Miss to finish fourth. In this scenario, both Missouri and Ole Miss would be College Football Playoff contenders.
Georgia would still be well-positioned to make the playoff with a loss to Texas in the SEC championship. The Bulldogs are Mullen’s preseason No. 2 team.
Mullen thinks that the SEC championship could come down to a tiebreaker scenario. He thinks his top six teams all have a shot to win the conference. He does not think highly of Florida, which is where he had his most recent SEC head coaching gig. He ranks Florida as the No. 12 in the SEC.
Getting in the title game could come down to the tiebreaker. There are 6 teams that have a chance. @SEC @ESPNCFB @espn pic.twitter.com/PP3Wr35H63
