Alabama vs Oklahoma, Texas A&M vs Miami, Ole Miss vs. Tulane — SEC CFP Breakdown with Chris Doering Dec 20, 2025

Show notes

SEC Network analyst and Florida Gator legend Chris Doering joins The Next Round for a deep dive into the SEC’s path in the College Football Playoff, breaking down the biggest questions, storylines, and pressure points facing the league as the postseason begins.

We hit on all the hot-button topics SEC and college football fans are debating right now:

• Would Ole Miss fans be angrier at Pete Golding if the Rebels lose their first CFP game — or at Lane Kiffin for leaving Oxford before the playoff even starts?

• Is it fair to doubt Texas A&M, and do the Aggies have what it takes to advance against Miami?

• Can Alabama’s offense finally get right on the road in a hostile environment against Oklahoma in a high-stakes playoff matchup?

• Which SEC teams are built to survive — and thrive — in the CFP gauntlet?

Chris Doering brings his SEC Network perspective, insider insight, and blunt analysis on how these matchups could unfold and what it means for the league’s national title hopes.

If you’re searching for College Football Playoff analysis, SEC football discussion, Alabama vs Oklahoma preview, Texas A&M vs Miami breakdown, or a primer for Ole Miss' CFP debut against Tulane, this is a must-watch conversation.
