The Southeastern Conference championship is the most anticipated league title game in college football annually. After the first two SEC title games took place in Birmingham, Alabama (1992-93), the contest has been housed at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta starting in 1994, as the championship is played on the first Saturday of December. The champions of the Eastern and Western divisions meet as the most common matchup has been between Florida and Alabama (seven times). Excluding new SEC members Texas A&M and Missouri, the only teams never to play in an SEC championship are Mississippi, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky.
Florida owns the most SEC championships with seven, but only three of those titles have come since 1997. Both LSU and Alabama are tied with four titles, as the Crimson Tide rallied past Georgia in the 2012 installment of the SEC championship, 32-28. The Bulldogs covered as a 7 ½-point underdog, marking only the third time since 2006 in which the favorite has not cashed in this game. The 'over' has hit in each of the last four title games, but the losing team has scored at least 17 points just once in this span.
