If a central location is your main focus then that would make
Oxford the better location, wouldn't it?
Central location should not be the over riding point.
1. Location
2. Availability
3. Accessibility
4. Best Contract
All having equal weights.
I mean, Nashville would probably be fine, but make no mistake about it, if the game is moved out of Atlanta, it will be lost to the ACC for good. Atlanta simply will take the game that is available every year, and it would give the ACC a nice foothold in SEC territory. Maybe it helps the ACC, maybe not. But we should be prepared to lose Atlanta totally if the game is moved.

Point to ponder
Atlanta is a day drive from Tuscaloosa
Nashville is a quick trip from Tuscalooa
Are you implying Nashville would be a better fit for the Tide while Atlanta favors Auburn?

This is always the fear mongering post that gets posted in these threads. Have you seen the crowds the ACC championship usually has? At best the stadiums are half full.
There will be a bidding war in a couple years and there’s a pretty good chance it’ll rotate.

It’s about the same. I live in Centeal Alabama…it’s 2hr 30 mins to Atlanta and 3hrs 30 mins to Nashville.

Yeah, some folks need a map.

What is the point in rotating it between two SEC East locations? I would rather them rotate it between a location in the West (NO, Dallas, etc.) and Atlanta. One city should not get it every year though. I often wonder if the SEC will ditch the championship game altogether when they go to the 12 tem playoff. They will likely crown a champion based on regular season results and get as many SEC teams as possible in the playoff each year.

There definitely are soft majors there. They just suck and like to say that's the reason why.
Posted on 11/10/22 at 9:48 am to mistaken4193
Yes
Posted on 11/10/22 at 9:54 am to mistaken4193
Yes, but rotate between Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans and Dallas (once Texas and Oklahoma join the fun).

If Vandy were to somehow get in, they would deserve that "home field advantage". I think it's a great idea. Nashville is a much more fun place to visit vs Atlanta.

Who cares if the ACC moved its conference championship to Atlanta? Such a bad conference. The SEC would benefit from moving it around to great cities like Dallas, New Orleans, Houston, Nashville and put Atlanta in that rotation. I lived in Atlanta for 13 years. One boring city! No one who lives there is from there. It has no innate culture. Everyone who moves there does so for work and that’s about it.

In 2009 there were 6 power conferences
#1 SEC
#2 B12
#3 B1G
#4 PAC
#5 BE
#6 ACC
ACC was at deaths door and waiting to picked apart by everybody else
Fast Forward to now
#1 SEC
#2 ACC (B1G may have eyeballs but not championships)
#3 B1G
#4 PAC
#5 B12 (about to become a G5 conference)
#6 BE (dead as disco)
If you do not see this, I do not know how to make it more obvious. No need to give up any territory if you are the super power and do not want the lesser power to take hold.

Considering I would rather saw my arm off than have to go to Atlanta for anything, heck yeah.

I think its cool to rotate the cities and experience the different locations within the SEC footprint. Back in the Big12 days they rotated between "North" and "South" rotating every year. STL and KC in the North, Houston and Dallas in the South.

You should add Tulane to this as well, except they are now realizing how much money they're losing by not being in the SEC.
