On 16 January 2024, it was proposed that this article be SEC Football Championship Game. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Can we have some proof this exists? --TrollHistorian 18:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The designated home team record, by my own personal count is 8-8 as of 2007. The designated away team won in 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005 and the designated home team won in 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007. Rtr10 (talk) 04:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it goes every other year as who is home (between East/West), then the home team won 2007, 2006, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1996, 1994 according to the chart at SEC Championship Game#Results. (a total of 10 wins out of 16 games played so far, since the 2008 contest hasn't been played yet) Now, it may be the case that there were some years that it didn't follow the back and forth dynamic, but it is my understanding that East teams are home on even years, and West teams are home on odd years, which would give an overall 10-6 record for home teams.

Here is the real record... For some reason there have been a couple of years that didn't alternate east/west as home away (ie LSU was home one year and then Auburn was home the very next year) Anyway, here is the record to finally settle this... HOME: 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 (9) AWAY: 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2005 (7) Rtr10 (talk) 10:35, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would you happen to have a reference that you could link to showing what years are home/away? I looked all over SECSports.com, but I am not seeing where it says which team is home or away. It appears the only year that falls outside of the pattern would be the year 2000. (all the other Home wins are the same as I stated) I looked up an image from the game, and it does indeed appear that Florida has on a home jersey, although that may or may not mean they were officially classified as a home team. It isn't a huge deal either way since it is only one fact, but it would be nice to make sure we have it correct, so if you have a link you are using which states it, then that would be superb. I'll just add a citation needed tag for the moment until one can be found. Very nice job on the creation of all the other SEC Championship game articles, by the way!

There is absolutely no reason why

Rey, this is the SEC Championship Game article NOT the Gator Bowl--Levineps (talk) 16:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was wondering why you would put that here. This article is not really related to what you are talking about. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 17:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm finding the Results table difficult to read, with all the different colors. Bolding is used, but it's lost in the kaleidoscope of coloring. I looked back through the page history; the team colors in the table were added on 28 September 2017‎ by an anonymous user, 108.171.131.189. I believe readability would be improved by removing the colors from the Results table, so I propose making that change (remove team colors from the Results table). Certainly all the teams have their own colors... but the noted use of those colors feels spurious and makes readability suffer, at least for me. Input from other editors welcome. Thanks.

I'm going to adjust the table so only the winning team appears with their team colors, which will make it immediately clear who the winning team was each year. Feedback welcome post-update. Dmoore5556 (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there the team colors in the first place. It just looks tacky, really no need for it. I liked it where there was no team color and the winning team was just in bold.--Jpp858 (talk) 21:14, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm OK either with keeping colors for winning teams, or removing colors and just bolding winners. Input from other editors welcome. Dmoore5556 (talk) 01:41, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PCN02WPS: your input would be welcome on this. Dmoore5556 (talk) 01:44, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dmoore5556: I am strongly in favor of keeping colors for winning teams (as is the case with all other FBS conferences and the SWAC), it looks way better than colors for all teams, but lets those winning teams stand out a bit more than just bolding.

@PCN02WPS: Thanks. If you know other active editors who may want to give input on this, feel free to ping them. Dmoore5556 (talk) 02:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
