At the conclusion of the college football regular season, the top teams in the East and West divisions of the Southeastern Conference meet in the SEC Championship game to determine an overall conference champion.http://cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/sec/championship_games.php The winner also receives an automatic bid to a BCS bowl game, generally the Sugar Bowl.
