This season will mark the first time since 1991 that SEC Football will not feature divisions. The two contenders for the championship game will be determined based on their overall winning percentages from the eight-game regular-season conference schedule.
Historically, only nine times in the past 32 years, since 1992, has the preseason predicted champion at SEC Media Days gone on to win the SEC Championship Game.
2024 Preseason Media Days All-SEC Teams were announced as well, with several Sooners added to the list. Linebacker Danny Stutsman and safety Billy Bowman were added to First-Team All SEC. Deion Burks, the transfer to Norman from Purdue, was listed to the Third Team Offense. Burks is coming off of a breakout performance in the Red-White Spring game where he caught 5 passes for 174 yards with two touchdowns. All three teams are listed below headlined by Georgia QB, Carson Beck.
