In this, the 21st Annual SEC Championship Game, the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide and #3 Georgia Bulldogs faced off in what amounted to a national semi-final with the winner on their way to play #1 Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship in Miami. In what is without a doubt the greatest game in SEC Championship history, the Crimson Tide rushed for 350 yards (a championship game record) en-route to a 32-28 victory over the Bulldogs.
Alabama running back Eddie Lacy was voted the game's Most Valuable Player.
