The Georgia Bulldogs will face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2023 SEC Championship Game after the two schools won their respective divisions this weekend.

Georgia and Alabama will square off on Saturday, Dec. 2 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. The game will be televised by CBS at 4:00pm ET.

The Georgia Bulldogs clinched the SEC East Division on Saturday prior to their 52-17 domination of the Ole Miss Rebels at home. Earlier on Saturday, the Missouri Tigers crushed the Tennessee Volunteers, 36-7, which dropped the Vols to 3-3 in the SEC East and out of contention for the conference championship.

Georgia, currently No. 1 in the AP and Coaches Polls and No. 2 in the College Football Playoff (CFP) Rankings, travels to take on Tennessee next weekend (3:30pm ET, CBS) before wrapping up the regular-season at in-state rival Georgia Tech on Nov. 25.

Georgia will be making its 11th appearance in the SEC Championship Game. The Bulldogs, who defeated LSU last season 50-30, have a 4-6 record in the SEC Championship Game.

The Alabama Crimson Tide clinched the SEC West Division on Saturday after their victory against the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, Ky., 49-21. Alabama, 9-1 overall this season, is 7-0 in SEC play with a non-conference game against Chattanooga up next on Saturday, Nov. 18 and a league game at Auburn on Saturday, Nov. 25.

Alabama, currently 8th in the latest CFP, AP, and Coaches rankings, will be making its conference-leading 15th SEC Championship Game appearance. In their last appearance in 2021, the Crimson Tide defeated the Bulldogs, 41-24, and are now 10-4 overall in the SEC Championship Game.

Georgia and Alabama last met in the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. The Bulldogs defeated the Crimson Tide in that contest, 33-18, to claim their first national title since the 1980 season.
