Rankings from AP Poll

The 2014 SEC Championship Game was played on Saturday, December 6, 2014, in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, and determined the 2014 football champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The game was played between Western Division Champion Alabama and Eastern Division Champion Missouri.[5] Missouri was the designated home team, and the game was televised by CBS for the fourteenth straight year.[6] In the game, Alabama defeated Missouri 42–13 and captured their 24th SEC football championship.[7]

The winner of the SEC Championship Game had competed in the last 8 BCS National Championship games, posting a 6–2 record. This was the inaugural season of the College Football Playoff, replacing the Bowl Championship Series. The winner of the game, if not selected for the playoff, would normally have played in the Sugar Bowl. However, because that year's Sugar Bowl was to host a national semifinal playoff game, the team would be sent to either the Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Peach Bowl, or the Fiesta Bowl.[citation needed] Since the winner, Alabama, ended up as the #1 playoff seed, they ended up playing in the Sugar Bowl anyway.
