SEC NCAA Football Betting

Alabama is the continual favorite to win the SEC. The Crimson Tide are always in the mix with Nick Saban running things in Tuscaloosa. It won’t be easy for this team to repeat as national champions after losing so much talent to the NFL Draft, but Alabama has proved it doesn’t have to rebuild from year to year. Bryce Young figures to be the starting quarterback, and he and the other skill position players besides John Metchie III and Brian Robinson Jr. are largely untested.

Is this the year that Kirby Smart finally leads Georgia to a national championship? The Bulldogs have recruited at an elite level since Smart’s arrival, and they nearly knocked off Alabama to win it all a few years ago. They probably have the best quarterback they have had yet under Smart in JT Daniels, and the ground game should be solid once again. That figures to make Georgia a real threat in 2021.

There is a steep drop between Alabama and Georgia and everyone else in this conference. Texas A&M has been solid under Jimbo Fisher, but the Aggies will have a new quarterback after Kellen Mond went to the NFL. Tight end Jalen Wydermyer might be the best at his position in the country though, and the defense should be very good.

Florida and LSU are also seen as contenders in the SEC. The Gators have lost a ton of returning production, so it won’t be easy for Dan Mullen to compete this season. As for the Tigers, their disappointing performance last season has some observers believing that Ed Orgeron needs to win at least eight games or else he might be fired just two years after winning a national championship.

SEC Football Format

The SEC is cut into two divisions with seven teams apiece. When this conference was 12 teams, each team played against the five other teams in its division and three teams from the opposite division. Now that the conference is in two seven-team divisions, every team plays one game against a "natural rival" from the opposite division that it plays every year, one game with a rotating team from the opposite division, and six games against its division rivals.

The winners of the SEC East and SEC West play against each other in the SEC Championship Game, a game that has been contested since 1992 and has been in Atlanta since 1994.

Since 2017, the game has been played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA marking the first time since '93 it was played somewhere else aside from the Georgia Dome.

Conference Champions (2000)

Only two teams from the SEC East and three teams from the SEC West have won the SEC Championship Game over the last two decades. The toughest conference in the United States has been extremely top-heavy, but the teams that win this conference typically compete for national championships.

Most Conference Championships

Nick Saban has made Alabama into an even greater powerhouse than they were under Bear Bryant. The Crimson Tide have now won 28 SEC championships and that’s twice as many as any other school. Saban has been responsible for seven of those conference titles and six national championships.

Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt are all amongst the members who have never won the SEC. It’s unlikely Vanderbilt ever wins the conference, but Texas A&M might break through soon with Jimbo Fisher coaching the Aggies.
