Alabama and Georgia were voted as the favorites to play for the conference title, with Alabama chosen to win the conference crown for the fifth time under coach Nick Saban. The potential game would be a rematch of the 2018 College Football Playoff title game, which Alabama won 26-23 in overtime. The votes for the Southeastern Conference standings were as follows:

West Division

Alabama (263 first-place votes) — 1,971 points

Auburn (19) — 1,664

Mississippi State (2) — 1,239

Texas A&M — 1,091
