You're just jealous because LSU takes the SEC championship game off every year and can't make it.

We had the same delima in 1992. Florida was 8-3 and Bama was 11-0 going in. I hated the idea of playing them for the same reason. But, that was the first SECCG so it was more obvious. The year before we would have already won the SEC and be playing for the NC. Now this stupid game could wreck us. And it almost did. We won it on a late 4th qtr pic 6.

Just keep this shite in mind if we add PO games. It would add a lot more unnecessary games and bring the luck factor in too much imho.

It's funnier that way.

Sure, just let LSU and Kentucky play!

I don't have any problem with that.

Would you really take a W and an SEC Championship over the opportunity to play Alabama once, maybe second time for natty?

He highlights an important point.

The perception of Alabama football carries them further than the regular season results on the field.

3 West championships. 5 national championships.

But if you expand the playoffs to eight teams, the conference championship becomes a complete liability that will prevent one of your top teams from being included.



Really.....a 3-4 loss Bama team would be let in an 8 team playoff.

Has to be a better way. Maybe get rid of SEC championship game and if two SEC teams don’t meet in CFP, declare the highest ranked SEC team in CFP poll the SEC champion.


Never do full gump.
