SEC Championship
Saturday, December 6, 2008 Florida Gators vs. Alabama Crimson Tide
The SEC Championship Game has made its place among the "games to see" in the Southeastern Conference. The title game has provided SEC fans plenty of memories and has catapulted teams to national championships and top national finishes.
The SEC’s Eastern and Western Division winners will meet in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome to battle for the league championship and the right to represent the conference in the Bowl Championship Series. The 17th-annual title game is set for December 6 and will be nationally televised by CBS Sports at 4:00 p.m. ET.
The game is a result of conference expansion, which saw Arkansas and South Carolina become the first members added in SEC history. Under NCAA regulations, a conference with 12 members may play an additonal football game to determine its champion, provided the regular season is played in divisions.
The participants of the game are determined each year during the eight-game regular-season conference schedule as the teams with the best overall SEC winning percentage in each division.
The 1994 SEC Championship Game earned a 10.5 rating and a 26 share, the highest rated SEC Championship Game in history.
The SEC Championship Game has also drawn capacity crowds in its short history. 1,194,668 fans have witnessed first-hand the pageantry of SEC Football at the 16 previous Championship Games.
The Championship Game has also drawn 14 capacity crowds in it’s 16-year history. Only 1993 (Birmingham) and 1995 (Atlanta) were not sellouts.
