So if we are doing away with the SEC championship game, what is the point of conference affiliation?
If we all are just playing towards the 24 team playoff starting next year.

For the SEC... The TV contract money.
For the Big 10... that and the fact that they can still brag about how great they are as an academic conference with their research consortium..
But the main issue is that in these big unwieldy 16 team conferences... It will be impossible to chose a champion in a lot of years.

We had conference affiliation looong before we had conference championship games.

The SEC would be much better if about four teams were released from the conference. Ten members was wonderful, twelve members was still very good. Fourteen and sixteen members is entirely too many members for a single conference.

All I can say is leave and don’t let the door hit you in the butt.
