Its likely to generate even more revenue over the next couple of seasons when teams that ain't been it much if at all make it to the game. It is a big damned deal for the conference and unlikely to go away anytime soon.

5 years tops and it’s gone

With the uneven schedules most years at least 1 team is getting in by nature of an easy schedule. And they won’t even be able to say they're kings of a bad division, they’ll be kings of nothing. The prestige downgrade has consequences

It’s going to become a nuisance for the teams that get in there, having to put more film on tape against good teams and not resting / risking injury when teams 3-5 are on the couch getting healthy for the postseason. Plus the SECCG loser can get knocked out of the playoffs entirely with an extra L

It carries less relevance and prestige and is destined to become an afterthought. Half of the future SEC national champions are going to have a different SEC champion. It’s basically now an NFL divisional title - you’d rather win than lose but it’s a footnote. The only question left is how quickly it’s thrown out. Enjoy it while it lasts

But some, like UGA & Ala., have multiple perm rivals.
