Alabama Is Pushing To Get Rid Of The SEC Championship Game

Totally agree. It only makes sense with the playoff system we have now. Why would you want to guarantee that one of your best 2 teams has an extra loss before the playoff selection?

I knew playoffs would ruin college football. No turning back now.

Stop with all the money hunger BS. Expanding playoffs is not needed and makes it more like pro games.

In the past I’d say “well by God if Alabama wants it then I know it’ll get done”. But now with the current playoff format that’ll most likely only expand from here, there is no reason to still play a conference championship game. It really serves no purpose now and all it does is potentially get key players hurt before the playoffs. Teams are already having to play 2 to 3 extra games now to even get to the championship game.

It will just become the new semi final championship game once the SEC and Big 10 break away from the NCAA and form the new college professional league backed by PE. See NFC / AFC championship games.

That game makes money. How are you going to convince the folks in charge to get rid of a game that makes money?

If I was guaranteed a playoff spot, why risk your starters to injury?

It's over now

Murder tradition for greed.

First time I can say Alabama is right

None of these ideas are making the sport better as far as I’m concerned

Only because they won't be going to it anymore.

Would be a tragedy.

Then how do they decide SEC Champions? Just pick from a straw poll with eyes closed and call it the day?

Have been saying this for years.

The SECCG was different than the others because it always had huge national implications and was a great spectacle for 34 years but it doesn’t make sense now. When you hardly ever saw certain teams play in each it was cool but now everybody is playing everybody every 2 years. Had Bama and UGA both won their 2nd round games they would have played a third time last year. The regular season champ should be good enough now with 9 conference games and the rotation we have.

Maybe if they move the game to Birmingham, Bama AD might reconsider the merits of the game.

Alabama almost missed out on playoffs by losing SECCG. Runner Up should get in no matter what

About right

I don't disagree but I find it funny the timing. Right after Bama gets waxed and almost missed the playoffs because of it.
