What are the criteria going forward for selection into the championship game?

Is it best record?
Head to head?
Committee?

Two things stick out beyond the Bama domination. Arkansas has actually been there 3 times and Georgia has a terrible record when it's essentially a home game every year in their home state theoretically providing an advantage.


In Georgia's defense, they have drawn a stacked team most of the years they have been there.

Auburn played the most different teams: Tennessee in 1997 and 2004 Florida in 2000 South Carolina in 2010 Mizzou in 2013 UGA in 2017


So only Vandy and UK did not make this list, of course they never played in the game.

Best record and then head to head followed by a committee based in Tuscaloosa that will invite the “best” team (cough cough)!

But is it? Especially in the years when they've drawn Bama? Now granted, I haven't been to the game in person since the '04 AU/UT game, but if I remember correctly, Bama fans held a ton of tickets for the game because they bought a large majority of them when it was in Birmingham in '92/'93 and just kept renewing even after the move to Atlanta.

That may have changed, but in the late '90s/early 2000s Bama fans still held the biggest chunk of renewable tickets.

No it really isn’t “essentially a home game” as it relates to home crowd advantage.

But it is in their “back yard” which makes the 4-7 record sting a little bit more Im sure.
