ATLANTA - After twice beating the No. 1 team to claim the SEC Western Division crown, Auburn came up short in the SEC Championship Game, losing to Georgia 28-7 Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Auburn (10-3), which entered at No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, will learn its bowl destination on Sunday.

Trailing by six points going to the fourth quarter, Auburn drove to midfield, but Georgia recovered a fumble and scored four plays later to take a 14-point lead. The Bulldogs added a 64-yard touchdown run for the final score.
