The SEC has announced its set of tiebreakers for the upcoming football season.

With the addition of Oklahoma and Texas, and the elimination of divisions, the newly expanded 16-team league will use procedures to determine who will compete in the SEC championship game.

Some of the procedures include head-to-head competition, record against all common conference opponents, and record against highest placed common opponent in the conference standings.

If the regular season standings determine a clear conference champion and two or more teams are tied for second place, the conference champion will be the home team in the championship game and the tiebreaking procedures will be used to determine its opponent.

The game will be played on December 7 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
