How to Watch Every College Football Game of SEC Rivalry Week

In this story:
It's simple, except when it's not. That's the situation the top Southeastern Conference teams are in as they try and secure spots in next week's conference title game in Atlanta.
There are four teams can still play in the SEC Championship Game, all ranked in the top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings. However, only one is still undefeated, and is facing a win-and-in scenario, Texas A&M. However, the Aggies are facing the No. 16 Longhorns, who still have some faint hope of making the playoff. To have any chance at all, though, they have to win this game, and have the advantage of being at home.
Meanwhile, No. 8 Oklahoma and No. 14 Vanderbilt are in the playoff mix as well, and know that they essentially need to be in the top 10 to be in the mix on Selection Sunday, Dec. 7. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Here's what each of the conference contenders have to do to play for the championship Dec. 6:

SEC tiebreakers
The following procedures will be used, in order, to determine that game's entries:
A. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams
B. Record versus all common conference opponents among the tied teams
C. Record against highest (best) placed common conference opponent in the conference standings, and proceeding through the conference standings among the tied teams
D. Cumulative Conference winning percentage of all conference opponents among the tied teams
E. Capped relative total scoring margin (see Appendix A) per SportSource Analytics versus all conference opponents among the tied teams
F. Random draw of the tied teams
If a tiebreaker produces standings with two teams tied for first place in league play, they are both selected for the championship game. To decide the seeding of the two teams, they will progress through the two-team tiebreaker procedures, which determines the home and away designation for the SEC Championship Game.
In the event of a two-team tie for second place, the SEC will use the following procedure:
A. Head-to-head competition among the two tied teams
B. Record versus all common conference opponents among the two tied teams
C. Record against highest (best) placed common conference opponent, proceeding through the Conference standings among the tied teams
D. Cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents among the tied teams
E. Capped relative total scoring margin per SportSource Analytics versus all conference opponents among the tied teams
F. Random draw of the tied teams
If there's a three-team tie for first place, those aforementioned steps will be used in descending order until two teams who stand alone are determined.
Normally, we name a game of the week here, but this week they're all important, even for the four teams that have already fired their head coaches. There isn't a single dud matchup — in only two games does the team with the better record have the advantage of being home.
The schedule starts Friday morning with the Egg Bowl with Ole Miss at Mississippi State, and It'll all culminate on Saturday night with maybe the biggest rivalry game of them all, the Iron Bowl with Alabama at Auburn, where the Tigers like nothing better than to dash Crimson Tide dreams.
As usual, games are in order of when they start, and times are local to the venue.
