Would you support an SEC Football Tournament?

First week in December:
#1 team in the East vs. #2 team in the West
#1 team in the West vs. #2 team in the East

Games played in higher seed’s home stadium.

SEC Title still in Atlanta the same day as Army/Navy.

Last year would’ve had Alabama vs Kentucky (meh) and Georgia vs Texas A&M (intriguing)

Would you be in favor of an SEC Tournament in football?

No. Are you seriously suggesting Texas A&M deserved a shot at an SEC Championship this year?

11-1 team vs 8-4 team? How intriguing.

Jimbo Fisher vs Kirby Smart, a one sided matchup

Not necessarily that they deserved it, but you get cross division matchups you don’t normally see and good football most years.

Imagine a scenario where you get 11-1 Florida vs 12-0 Alabama and 11-1 Georgia vs 11-1 LSU for an SEC Semifinal in Bryant-Denny, the Swamp, Sanford, or Tiger Stadium.

It would be electric.

Wouldn’t be the only 4 loss team that beat y’all last year.

We already have one. It’s called the regular season.

No. Puts SEC champion at a significant disadvantage in the national playoffs.

ETA: it’s not like the current system is unfair.

In a vacuum sure I would support it. More football is always fun.

It reality it would be a stupid idea on so many levels. More football is fun to a point. You can't expand the season for games that there are no reason to play

That would be a crazy game day atmosphere.

Not really as every game added is a potential career ending injury.

Every game also has the potential to be a classic game. I’m for more football. With how good the top of the divisions are going to be for the foreseeable future, I think you would have some classic games if it were to ever happen.

No. We don't need to watch bama hold for additional games.

Jesus this board goes from shite to full on diarrhea during the offseason. Not just no, but hell no.

If we want to fix the schedule, let's fix the schedule, not intentionally chop our own dicks off in advance of CFP selection to help out the other P5 conferences.

That’s too many big games for UGA to lose

Oh God, No.....

If you want to change something, then eliminate the divisions, and take the two highest teams (based on results) for the title game.
