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 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 relatively young history of the SEC Championship Game has minted some of the biggest names in college football and has also given legendary status to great coaches. Peyton Manning cemented his legacy with the Tennessee Volunteers with an SEC Championship victory, and Jason Campbell secured his spot in the NFL with the SEC Championship. The rivalry between the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide has produced some of the best games on the SEC Championship and created the legend of Florida Gators coach Steve Spurrier.
