The media poll for the SEC football champion was released on Friday, and Alabama earned the most votes for the seventh consecutive year.
Out of 181 possible votes, the 2022 College Football Playoff title runners-up received 158 votes. The 2022 national champions, Georgia, earned the second most votes, although it was nowhere close to Alabama, with 18.
Georgia was picked to win the Eastern Division, while Alabama was selected to win the Western Division. This 2021 SEC championship rematch is what most media members believe will happen for the ’22 season. Alabama won 41–24 in last year’s meeting; however, Georgia got its revenge when winning 33–18 in the national championship shortly after.
