The Truth is without a doubt the best route. Saves so much time.

24-3 loss to a 5-5 team that’s been embarrassed a couple times should nail the coffin shut.

Oh please. All I 've heard from SEC fans over the years was about how Tennessee has been irrelevant for 25 years.

If playing in the SEC Championship game in 2007 and losing by one score (after driving into the redzone with 2 mns left before turning the ball over) is 'irrelevant', then winning that game is hardly prestigious.

As far as I'm concerned, the SECCG is a dinosaur that needs to be done away with. It hasn't been prestigious since at least 2006, when it became clear that the loser can be dismissed as irrelevant.

All that matters now is the playoffs. If you don't make the playoffs you're irrelevant. That's a hard truth that SEC fans are going to have to get used to.

Real easy to say when you haven't played in it in 20 years. It means something to some of us.

He's not wrong. But I get downvoted when I post that fact on here.

I mean...if that game made the loser "irrelevant" than I want to hear your opinion on 1994. Alabama was undefeated and ranked #3 in the country with an outside shot of winning the national title. The Tide lost by one point to 9-1-1 Florida and was then relegated to a Citrus Bowl appearance against a three-loss Ohio State team.

Had the SEC Championship Game not existed in 1994, Alabama would have won the SEC outright and likely would have played #1 Nebraska for a shot at the Bowl Coalition National Championship.

How many SEC Runner-Up banners do you have flying? Any BEFORE the SECCG existed?

Because your argument implies that Tennessee flies a lot of them.

Saban is now an espn pimp. He sold his integrity to Donald Duck. Why should any Bama fan care what he says. He was paid handsomely for 17 years.

Bama beat Georgia
Georgia beat Texas
Texas should have lost to Vandy, will lose to Aggies this weekend
Aggies lost to South Carolina who Bama beat.
Tenn lost to Georgia who Bama beat
Bama got whipped by OU.
Tenn whipped OU and whipped Bama

The SEC is tough! For Saban to say such is bull.

On any given day there are 15 teams who if the ball bounces funny, can beat each other.

I don’t care if Bama makes the playoffs. I’ll watch them wherever.

Roll Damn Tide!

I'm not the one who has rendered the loser 'irrelevant'. You need to talk to everyone who says Tennessee has been 'irrelevant for muh last 25 years', as we were a hair's breadth from winning it in 2007.

Sorry boomer. If the game is 'prestigious', then simply being one of the two teams playing in it makes you at least relevant.

If that's not true then it's not prestigious, plain and simple.

Or, y'all could stop being irrelevant and sucking and losing games to Arkansas.

So the SECCG is not prestigious.

Got it.
