Southeastern Conference Football

SEC12.com is a fan site dedicated to collecting SEC Football facts and features. We are not affiliated with the Southeastern Conference. The official website of the Southeastern Conference is SECSports.com.

SEC12.com was established to honor the #1 and #2 final ranking by two schools from the same football conference since the BCS National Championship was instituted. And by the way, it’s pronounced SEC One Two.

SEC Football Championship Game

The 2013 SEC Football Championship Game will be held at the Georgia Dome on December 7th in Atlanta. It’s very hard to get tickets to the game, but the SEC offers fans a chance to get on the waiting list for the opportunity to buy tickets in case there are extras. Sign up for the SEC Football Championship Waiting List. The waiting list opens every year on September 1 and closes December 31.

The SEC Football Champion gets the automatic bid to play in the Sugar Bowl at the Superdome in New Orleans. If the SEC Football Champion is selected to play in the BCS National Championship Game, the Sugar Bowl selects the SEC runner-up.

On May 19, 2012 the Big 12 and the SEC joined forces to send the champions of their respective conferences to a postseason bowl game beginning in 2014. With an agreement between the Pac-12 and Big 10 all but a done deal, it looks like we have the beginnings of a College Football Final Four.
