It was already redundant in the 12 team era, in a 24 team era it was mega-pointless.

Very sad. I prefer a world where the conference championship games were defacto playoff games.

With a 2-4 team playoff the odds of you making it as a non-conference champion were very low. But when 4-5 SEC teams began making it, winning the title game carried no major gravity beyond seeding.

We won the first SEC championship game so it would be poetic if we won the last.

I still hope we make it (and win obviously).

Georgia losing their extra home game after playing 4 good teams and “rival” Georgia Tech every year? Shame.

And risking losing more playmakers? Nah, we're good.

We'll get our rematch with Georgia and the refs in the playoffs. Better there than a glorified exhibition game.

Wouldn’t mind resting some starters if we make it this year. As bad as that sounds.

Bama has played in 47% (16 of 34) of the SEC CGs.
They have one 32% (11 of 34) of the SEC CGs.

As much as I realize it is a risk to the bigger picture in playoff readiness, I'd like to see them add another and the final SEC CG title to the mix.

Yeah I would prefer a 4 team playoff where power 4 get one team each and call it a day. Make the CCGs into a glorified quarterfinal.

Too bad C.R.E.A.M.

Can you imagine the money the Atlanta economy is going to lose by this not being held anymore? I can imagine hundreds of millions of dollars that entered their economy because of this game.

I like the idea of playing the game. But a real protest would be each team playing nothing but walk-ons.

I would watch the shite out of that.
