The No. 2 Auburn Tigers will play the No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs in the 2017 SEC Championship Game on Saturday. Here’s how to watch the SEC Championship online.
It’s championship weekend in college football. That means we’ve got some College Football Playoff tickets to punch from the Power 5 conference championship games. One game you absolutely have to watch will be the 2017 SEC Championship between the No. 2 Auburn Tigers (10-2) and the No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs (11-1).
Kickoff from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta will be at 4:00 p.m. ET on Dec. 2. CBS will have the mid-afternoon telecast with Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson in the booth to call the title bout. The available live streams for this game can be found on CBS Sports and on FuboTV.
Georgia won the SEC East with an 11-1 (7-1) record. The Bulldogs went a perfect 6-0 in SEC East play. That’s the first time in school history Georgia has done that since the SEC created divisions with the inclusion of Arkansas and South Carolina to the conference in 1992.
Georgia is the No. 6 team in the nation and would make the College Football Playoff if they won in Atlanta on Saturday. They would be avenging their only loss of the season to cross-divisional rival Auburn, who beat them a few weeks ago.
Auburn won the SEC West with a 10-2 (7-1) record. By winning the Iron Bowl over rival Alabama, Auburn held the head-to-head tiebreaker to win the division. Auburn’s only SEC loss this year was to the LSU Tigers in the Tiger Bowl. Their other loss came on the road early in the season to the No. 1 Clemson Tigers by less than a touchdown.
Auburn is the No. 2 team in the nation after the latest revealing of the College Football Playoff rankings. The Tigers stand to be the first two-loss team to make the playoff should they knock off Georgia again in the SEC Championship. Should Clemson fall to the No. 7 Miami Hurricanes in the ACC Championship, maybe Auburn is the top-seed in the four-team playoff as a two-loss team? Who would’ve thought that at the beginning of the year?

This game could be a pick ’em, but Auburn does get the slight nod for two reasons over Georgia when it comes to the line. The first being Auburn is the hottest team in college football in late November. It should be noted that the other reason is that the Tigers beat Georgia 40-17 only three weeks ago. Then again, that game was in Auburn and not on a neutral field. This game is shaping up to be one for the ages.
