No. The SEC championship game being in one of the best NFL stadiums in the country makes a statement. The ACC would move in in a second.

The SEC already has the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Jerry’s World, New Orleans,Miami, Atlanta.

Those 4 would be the best thing to happen to it since they left Biringham.

Hopefully Keisha can get the riots under control by December. If not you can count on free entry into the College Football HOF.

There needs to be rotation.


To where?The Superdome is still a dump no matter how much they patch it up every 10 years or so.Playing outside in December isn't much of an option unless you wanna play in Miami... which really isn't close to a central location

Agree with most of your post, but this is just wrong.

I think it should be rotated between Atlanta, New Orleans, St Louis, and Nashville

I like the idea of rotation. Florida should be considered. I like the thought of Tennessee as well.

Yes it was awesome even with the cold rain. I will always love Antonio Langham for pretty much single handily winning the Mississippi State game and the SEC Championship game.

I think it should move around each year.

If they are going to keep interest in conference championship games, then they're going to have to do something to create novelty... rotate it and make it a destination event. Since the CFP format, the conference championships are basically irrelevant. They should move it around to NOLA, Memphis, Nashville, Jax, maybe even Tampa. It's like a glorified bowl game now.

THink there was another thread on this during the weekend.

Same stance.

I don't like the city of Atlanta honestly. Not for the SEC title game. City is to busy. I'd prefer somewhere you can actually tailgate and party like we do in Jacksonville for the Cocktail party.

I've gone to the SEC title game four times now. The games are awesome but never loved being in Atlanta.

I'd prefer it in Jacksonville, Nashville, Legion Field, etc. Somewhere that isn't a dense urban area that lets you tail gate out in the open and have fun.

Nashville sucks. It’s cold and wet in that outdoor stadium, probably windy too. Just keep it in Atlanta. Who cares if it is a UGA home game. LSU and Bama don’t seem to have a problem beating them there
