The '''SEC Championship Game''' is an annual [[American football]] game that has determined the [[Southeastern Conference]]'s season champion since 1992. For its first 32 seasons, the championship game pitted the Eastern Division regular season champion against the Western Division regular season champion. With the SEC eliminating football divisions after the 2023 season, the game now features the top two teams in the conference standings. The game is regularly played on the first Saturday of December, and has been held in [[Atlanta]] since 1994, first at the [[Georgia Dome]], and at [[Mercedes-Benz Stadium]] since 2017.

Eleven of the sixteen current SEC members have played in the SEC Championship Game, with [[Kentucky Wildcats football|Kentucky]], [[Ole Miss Rebels football|Ole Miss]], [[Texas A&M Aggies football|Texas A&M]], [[Vanderbilt Commodores football|Vanderbilt]], and [[Oklahoma Sooners football|Oklahoma]] being the exceptions. During the divisional era, the overall series was led 19–13 by the Western Division.

While eleven SEC members have played in the game, only six have won: [[Florida Gators football|Florida]], [[Georgia Bulldogs football|Georgia]], [[Tennessee Volunteers football|Tennessee]], [[Alabama Crimson Tide football|Alabama]], [[Auburn Tigers football|Auburn]], and [[LSU Tigers football|LSU]]. Each of these teams has won the championship multiple times. [[Arkansas Razorbacks football|Arkansas]], [[South Carolina Gamecocks football|South Carolina]], [[Mississippi State Bulldogs football|Mississippi State]], [[Missouri Tigers football|Missouri]], and [[Texas Longhorns football|Texas]] have played in the game but failed to win it.

==History==
The SEC was the first NCAA conference in any division to hold a football championship game that was exempt from NCAA regular-season game limits. This was made possible in 1987, when the NCAA membership approved a proposal sponsored by the [[NCAA Division II|Division II]] [[Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference]] and [[Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association]] allowing any conference with at least 12 football members to split into divisions and stage a championship game between the divisional winners. The SEC took advantage of this rule by adding the [[University of Arkansas]] and the [[University of South Carolina]] in 1992, bringing the conference membership to 12, and splitting into two football divisions.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/college-football/2014/05/16/conference-championship-games-rule-origin |title=Should NCAA alter title game requirements? Look at the rule's origin |first=Andy |last=Staples |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |date=May 16, 2014 |access-date=January 5, 2016}}</ref> The format has since been adopted by other conferences to decide their football champion (the first being the [[Big 12 Conference|Big 12]] in [[1996 Big 12 Championship Game|1996]]).

The first two SEC Championship Games were held at [[Legion Field]] in [[Birmingham, Alabama]]. From 1994 until 2016, the game was played at the [[Georgia Dome]] in [[Atlanta]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.secsports.com/index.php?change_well_id=9993&s|title=Southeastern Conference|website=www.secsports.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090317103552/http://www.secsports.com/index.php?change_well_id=9993&s|archive-date=2009-03-17}}</ref> Following the closure and subsequent demolition of the Georgia Dome in 2017, the SEC Championship Game remained in Atlanta, moving to the new [[Mercedes-Benz Stadium]] under a ten-year contract. In November 2023, the SEC signed a five-year extension with Mercedes-Benz Stadium with an additional five-year option which will get the game at the stadium until 2032.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Low |first1=Chris |title=SEC football title game staying in Atlanta through at least 2031 |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39014607/sec-football-title-game-staying-atlanta-least-2031 |publisher=ESPN |access-date=May 23, 2024 |date=November 30, 2023}}</ref>

The SEC Championship Game has been played on the first Saturday of December with two exceptions. The [[2001 SEC Championship Game|2001 edition]] was moved to the second Saturday in December so games cancelled during the week of the [[September 11 attacks]] could be rescheduled on the first Saturday. The [[2020 SEC Championship Game|2020 edition]] was pushed back to the third week of December as part of the adjustments in the [[2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season|2020 season]] for the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

With the SEC [[2021–2024 NCAA conference realignment#Southeastern Conference|expanding to 16 teams]] with the 2024 arrival of Oklahoma and Texas, it announced on June 1, 2023, that it would eliminate its football divisions at that time. Championship games from 2024 forward will feature the top two teams in the conference standings.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.secsports.com/news/2023/06/sec-establishes-2024-football-schedule-format |title=SEC Establishes 2024 Football Schedule Format |publisher=Southeastern Conference |date=June 1, 2023 |access-date=April 15, 2024}}</ref>

Between 2006 and 2013 the winner of the SEC Championship Game went on to play in the [[BCS National Championship Game]] eight straight years, posting a 6–2 record. Since 2014, the SEC Championship Game winner has gone on to appear in the [[College Football Playoff]] every season, posting a 8–2 record in the national semi-final and a 4–4 record in the [[College Football Playoff National Championship]]. It is important to note that two of these losses in the National Championship were to another team from the SEC, including a rematch of the 2021 SEC Championship game in the eventual National Championship.

* [[Kentucky Wildcats football|Kentucky]], [[Oklahoma Sooners football|Oklahoma]], [[Ole Miss Rebels football|Ole Miss]], [[Texas A&M Aggies football|Texas A&M]], and [[Vanderbilt Commodores football|Vanderbilt]] have yet to make an appearance in an SEC Championship Game.

===Home/away designation===
During the championship's divisional era, the team designated as the "home" team alternated between division champions.  The designation went to the Eastern champion in even-numbered years and the Western champion in odd-numbered years.

After the 2020 contest, the designated "home" team is 16–13 overall in SEC championship games.

In [[2009 SEC Championship Game|2009]], the Western champion, Alabama, was the home team, ending a streak where the SEC Western team had worn white jerseys in nine consecutive SEC Championship Games (2000–2008). This was because [[LSU Tigers football|LSU]] had represented the West in the previous four seasons that the Western Division champion was the "home" team, and LSU traditionally chooses to wear white jerseys for home games. Additionally, for the next three years (2010–2012), the Eastern Division representative wore their home jerseys because in 2011, LSU again represented the West;<ref name="secsportshistory" /> this happened again from 2018 to 2020 since LSU represented the West in 2019.

In the current format, the #1 seed is designated as the home team.

===Rematches===
While SEC schools played every other member of their own division during the conference's divisional era, they did not play every member of the opposite division. With the end of divisional play, each SEC member will play only eight of the 15 other teams in the conference. Thus, the SEC Championship Game is not guaranteed to be a rematch of a regular-season game. The SEC Championship game has featured a rematch of a regular-season game a total of eight times (1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2017, 2024). The team which won the regular-season game is 6–2 in the rematches, the exceptions being 2001 and 2017.

==Selection criteria==
Division standings were based on each team's overall conference record.  The SEC Commissioner's Regulations requires each football team play all eight conference games in a season in order to be eligible to compete for a divisional title and play in the SEC Championship Game. When two or more teams tie for the best record in their division, each team is recognized as a divisional co-champion. Tiebreakers are used to determine who will represent the division in the championship game.<ref name="SECTiebreaker">{{cite web|url=http://www.secdigitalnetwork.com/NEWS/tabid/473/Article/134195/sec-divisional-tie-breaker.aspx|title=Southeastern Conference|website=www.secdigitalnetwork.com}}</ref>

===Two-team tie-breaker procedure===
# Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.
# Records of the tied teams within the division.
# Records against the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
# Complete record vs. all non-divisional opponents.
# Complete record vs. all common non-divisional teams if there be any.
# Record vs. common non-divisional opponent (if there be any) with the best overall conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
# Best cumulative conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents
# Coin flip of the tied teams

''NOTE:  Although all division rivals meet during the season and [[College football#Official rules and notable rule distinctions|NCAA overtime]] is played, the SEC has provisions in case a game ends in a tie, which is possible under NCAA Rule 3–3–3 (c.2) and (d), Suspending the Game, and Commissioner's Regulations (including a tie game after the end of three periods, at the point the game is suspended in the fourth period, or end of regulation (3-3-3-d) or if one team had played their overtime period but the opponent had not played, when the game reaches the conference curfew of 1:30 a.m. local time), or if the two tied teams did not play an official game because of weather (including a game that ends before the end of three periods), which is possible because numerous conference teams have had games affected by hurricanes but also lightning.  As such, SEC rules, written before overtime was implemented in regular season play, still contain the remaining procedures if those circumstances were to happen.''<ref name="SECTiebreaker" />

===Three or more-team procedure===
(Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, go to the two-team tie-breaker format.)
# Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
# Record of the tied teams within the division.
# Records against the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
# Complete record vs. non-division teams.
# Complete record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
# Record vs. common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
# Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with #1
# Coin flip of the tied teams with the team with the odd result being the representative (Example: If there are two teams with tails and one team with heads, the team with heads is the representative)

==Winner's bowl performance==
Currently the SEC champion plays in the [[Sugar Bowl]] unless it has been selected to play in a [[College Football Playoff]] semi-final bowl, or if the Sugar Bowl is hosting a CFP semi-final and the SEC champion either does not qualify for the CFP or has a seeding that prevents it from appearing in the Sugar Bowl.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nokiasugarbowl.com|title=nokiasugarbowl.com|website=www.nokiasugarbowl.com}}</ref> In the SEC Championship Game era, eleven winners of the game have gone on to win the [[College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS|national title]] (outright or shared), with thirteen SEC teams winning national titles overall, including seven consecutive titles from the 2006–2012 seasons.

There are three occasions when the SEC champion advanced to the BCS or CFP but lost to another SEC team which won the national championship:

In [[2011 SEC Championship Game|2011]], [[2011 LSU Tigers football team|LSU]] won the SEC Championship Game and advanced to the [[2012 BCS National Championship Game|BCS National Championship Game]] which they lost 21–0 to fellow SEC West member [[2011 Alabama Crimson Tide football team|Alabama]].

In [[2017 SEC Championship Game|2017]], [[2017 Georgia Bulldogs football team|Georgia]] won the SEC Championship Game and advanced to the College Football Playoff, defeating [[2017 Oklahoma Sooners football team|Oklahoma]] in the [[2018 Rose Bowl|semifinal]] and advancing to the [[2018 College Football Playoff National Championship|CFP final game]], which they lost 26–23 in overtime to SEC member [[2017 Alabama Crimson Tide football team|Alabama]].

In [[2021 SEC Championship Game|2021]], [[2021 Alabama Crimson Tide football team|Alabama]] won the SEC Championship game and advanced to the College Football Playoff, defeating [[2021 Cincinnati Bearcats football team|Cincinnati]] in the semifinal and advancing to the [[2022 College Football Playoff National Championship|CFP final game]], which they lost 33–18 to [[2021 Georgia Bulldogs football team|Georgia]] in a rematch of the SEC title game. It was the 1st time that the loser of the conference championship won the national championship game in the same season.

Rankings are from the [[AP Poll]] at the time the game was played.
