Alabama Is Pushing To Get Rid Of The SEC Championship Game

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

Have been saying this for years.

Murder tradition for greed.

First time I can say Alabama is right

Would be a tragedy.

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.

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

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

I strongly disagree ! If you are gonna cancel one why not all ? Conference Championship games are super important and help with who is gonna play who in the bowl games .

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

About right

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

It's over now

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