Only seven times since 1992 has the predicted champion at SEC Media Days proceeded to win the SEC Championship Game. Last year’s game was the most-watched and highest-rated regular-season college football game on any network in seven years with a 10.1 rating and 17.5 million viewers.  It also marked the second most-watched SEC Championship ever in 26 years since the game debuted in 1992.
