Georgia Set for Rematch Against Auburn in the 2017 SEC Championship Game

 
 

Just a few short hours after Georgia soundly defeated in-state rival Georgia Tech on Saturday, the Bulldogs’ opponent for the 2017 SEC Championship game was determined as Auburn defeated Alabama 26-14 in the annual Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

 

The Eastern Division Champion Bulldogs are now set for a rematch against the Western Division Champion Tigers on Saturday, December 2nd in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA. Just two short weeks ago, Georgia lost their first and only game of the 12-game regular season to rival Auburn 40-17.

 

Since the Southeastern Conference was split into East and West Divisions and a game was played between division winners to determine the SEC Champion in 1992, this will be the first time that Georgia and Auburn have faced each other to vie for the crown. The Tigers are designated as the home team and the Bulldogs as the visiting team. Western Division teams are designated the home team in odd-numbered years where as Eastern Division in even-numbered years.

 

Kickoff for next weekend’s conference championship is set for 4:00 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS.
