The Georgia Bulldogs will play LSU in the 2022 SEC championship game. Georgia defeated Mississippi State to clinch the SEC East. LSU beat Arkansas, but needed Alabama’s win over Ole Miss to win the SEC West.
No media members correctly predicted LSU would win the SEC West in the preseason. LSU opened the season with a crazy loss to Florida State, but has looked very good since. The Tigers have already exceeded expectations under first-year head coach Brian Kelly.
Georgia and LSU have not played since the 2019 SEC championship. Fortunately for Georgia, former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow now plays in the NFL.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the LSU-Georgia SEC championship matchup being clinched:
Kirby Smart doesn't want to talk about the SEC championship yet
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart on knowing Georgia will play LSU in the SEC title game: “We’ve got to focus on Kentucky. Why would anyone think we’re going to think about and talk about them?”

People think Georgia will blow out LSU but they are only up 17-12 at halftime against Mississippi State and struggled against Missouri. They are not super humans.
