December 2, 2017 Atlanta: Georgia Bulldogs running back D'Andre Swift (7) breaks away on a long run against the Auburn Tigers for a touchdown during the second half of the SEC Football Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, December 2, 2017, in Atlanta. Hyosub Shin / hshin@ajc.com

In their rematch for the SEC championship, No. 6 Georgia defeated No. 2 Auburn 28-7 on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The victory gave the Bulldogs (12-1) their first SEC championship since 2005 and 13th in program history – and almost certainly a berth in the College Football Playoff. Those four teams will be announced early Sunday afternoon.

Auburn (10-3) scored a touchdown on its first possession and didn’t score again. That was a role reversal from when the teams played Nov. 11 at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, when the Tigers dominated both lines of scrimmage in a 40-17 victory.
