Report: SEC approves championship Saturday as make-up date

Alabama vs. LSU, Texas A&M vs. Tennessee, Auburn vs. Mississippi State and Georgia vs. Missouri are the four SEC games that have been postponed this week due to Covid-19 outbreaks. 

The question remaining is when these games will be played as most teams do not have collective open dates the remainder of the season.

ESPN’s Heather Dinich reported today via Twitter that Dec. 19, SEC Championship Saturday, has been pegged by the SEC as a make-up date.

There isn’t an official decision on this one just yet, but Georgia and Missouri are among those who don’t have an open date until Dec. 19, so look for that matchup to most likely move to then.

If the game is scheduled for Dec. 19, it’s going to make one weird college football Saturday. When have we seen an SEC Championship preceded by conference games on the same day?
