SEC announces new tie-breaking procedures for conference championship
SUMMARY: As the 2024 college football season approaches, the SEC has introduced new tie-breaking procedures for its championship game, following the elimination of divisions after Texas and Oklahoma joined. The procedures are prioritized as follows: head-to-head records, common opponents’ records, performance against the best common opponent, cumulative winning percentages, scoring margins, and finally a random draw. If multiple teams are tied for first, all will qualify for the championship, while the SEC champion will host the title game. The 2024 SEC Championship is set for December 7 in Atlanta, with a chance to impact the new 12-team College Football Playoff.
