2024 SEC Football Preseason Media Poll, All-SEC Team

July 30, 2024 by courtesy secsports.com

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (July 19, 2024) -- Georgia has been predicted to win the 2024 SEC Championship, according to a preseason poll of media covering SEC Football Media Days. 

The Bulldogs received 165 votes to be crowned SEC Champion on December 7 in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with Texas being picked to be the Bulldogs’ opponent in the Longhorns’ first season in the league. Texas received 27 votes to win the SEC Championship.

This will mark the first season since 1991 with no divisions in SEC Football. The participants of the game will be determined during the eight-game regular-season conference schedule as the teams with the two best overall SEC winning percentages.

Only nine times since 1992 (32 years) has the predicted champion prior to the season at SEC Media Days proceeded to win the SEC Championship Game.

The SEC Championship Game has been the most watched conference championship nationally for 15 of the past 16 seasons, including 12 in a row from 2008-2019. The only year it was not No. 1 was 2020 when the SEC did not have a traditional schedule due to the pandemic. The 2023 SEC Championship Game averaged 17.519 million viewers, +61% vs. last year’s game, and peaked with 22.350 million viewers. It was the most-watched Conference Championship Game on any network in five years.
