WHO IS PLAYING IN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME?

The Georgia Bulldogs will play in their fifth consecutive SEC Championship game. Georgia earned a spot after Texas A&M lost to Texas. The final spot in the championship came down to the Iron Bowl with the Alabama Crimson Tide holding off its rival Auburn to advance instead of Ole Miss.

Georgia and Alabama met at Sanford Stadium back in September with Crimson Tide handing the Bulldogs their only loss of the season. Alabama has won all four of the previous SEC Championship games between the programs.

The winner of this year’s SEC Championship is guaranteed a top four spot and a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff.

If Georgia loses, its 11-1 regular season record should still be enough to get them a home playoff game. If Alabama loses, that would be the Tide’s third loss, which would hurt the team’s playoff chances.

But the College Football Playoff committee hasn’t kept Georgia and Alabama out of its top 10 all season, so it’s still possible for both teams to make it.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME?

The SEC Championship Game is Saturday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. The game will be held once again at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The stadium will not only host the SEC Championship game, but also the Peach Bowl for the College Football Playoff semifinal game on Jan. 9.
