Tide Locks Down West, Berth in SEC Championship Game
Top-ranked Alabama clinched the Southeastern Conference Western Division and its third straight trip to the SEC championship game when No. 9 Auburn was upset 13-7 at Georgia.
Thank you, Kirby Smart.
Top-ranked Alabama clinched the Southeastern Conference Western Division and its third straight trip to the SEC championship game when No. 9 Auburn was upset 13-7 at Georgia. Smart’s Bulldogs gave the Tigers their second conference loss entering the Nov. 26 trip to Tuscaloosa to face unbeaten Alabama.
There was an Alabama theme to Saturday’s upset in Athens. Former Tide defensive back Maurice Smith’s interception return tied the game at 7-7 in the third quarter.
