As far as the conference games go, the early battles between South Carolina and Georgia (Sept. 7) as well as Alabama against Texas A&M (Sept. 14) are certain to make a huge impact on the season nationwide.

It all leads up to the SEC Championship Game, which will take place on Dec. 7 at 4 p.m. ET in Atlanta, broadcasted by CBS. There are 14 teams vying for one of the spots in this game, and their fate could be decided early in the season.
