The SEC Championship Game (officially The SEC Championship on CBS presented by Dr Pepper for broadcast and sponsorship purposes) is an annual American football game that has determined the Southeastern Conference's season champion since 1992. The championship game pits the SEC Western Division regular season champion against the Eastern Division regular season champion. It is typically played on the first Saturday of December.
Ten of the fourteen current SEC members have played in the SEC Championship Game. Kentucky and Vanderbilt have yet to reach the game from the East, while Ole Miss and Texas A&M have yet to reach the game from the West. The overall series between both divisions is led by the Western Division, 14–11.
While ten SEC members have played in the game, only six have won: Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee of the Eastern Division, and Alabama, Auburn, and LSU of the Western Division. Each of these teams has won the championship multiple times. Alabama is the current SEC champion.
The SEC Championship Game has been aired on CBS since 2001; the current broadcast team is Verne Lundquist as the play-by-play announcer, Gary Danielson as the color analyst, and Allie LaForce as the sideline reporter. Since 2007, the game is held the first Saturday of December at 4:00 PM Eastern.
