re: Should the SEC move all championships out of Atlanta?

No, but I've always thought that having the football championship in Atlanta every year is not fair to the teams and fans in the far west. It should rotate with New Orleans every other year.

The biggest argument against New Orleans is the tie in with the Sugar Bowl. The way things work with the playoff nowadays, if the Sugar Bowl is not one of the semi-finals you're very likely to have the loser of the SEC championship game appear in the Sugar Bowl, so that means a team that just lost a game in New Orleans is going to be asked to make a second trip to New Orelans in a matter of weeks. That's a recipe for unsold seats (and hotel rooms) at the Sugar Bowl, so I don't think New Orleans would be all that interested.
