No one knows exactly what the College Football Playoff selection committee will do in the first year of the 12-team playoff, but SEC commissioner Greg Sankey stumped for his conference before the Texas-Texas A&M showdown Saturday night at Kyle Field.

Entering the final weekend of the season, this is the last chance for many teams to make their case for inclusion into the College Football Playoff.

The Big 12 announced this week there are 256 possibilities to determine who will play in the league title game.

Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) will host the Texas Longhorns (10-1, 6-1 SEC) for the first time in 13 seasons. The winner of Saturday night's primetime showdown will advance to the SEC Championship game to take on Georgia on Dec.

The time is here, and a decade's worth of trash-talking will be settled on the field Saturday night. No. 20 Texas A&M will battle No. 3 Texas for the spot opposite Georgia in the SEC championship game.

The college football season is coming down to the wire, and one game in the SEC can impact the entire national championship picture. Texas is set to take on Texas A&M, renewing a long-dormant rivalry with both teams in contention for the conference title.
