It resolves to No otherwise. Readers often mistake the linked story about a regular-season win for the final resolution condition.
• Georgia — the market puts it at 79%, with $1 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Georgia qualifies for the 2026 College Football SEC Championship Game. It resolves to No if they do not qualify. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the deadline, but the resolution depends solely on whether Georgia makes the championship game in 2026.
