Actually agree with Alabama AD, time to ditch SECCG

We play 12 games, 9 of which are in the league, then the best 2 get a chance to play so they can claim they are the best in the league (even though they might have played already) so they can play up to another 4 games (maybe against someone you’ve already played) for someone to claim they are the champion.

We would have been in the National Championship game, and likely won, if not for the 2001 SECCG. Mustang had nothing to do with it (unsure if that's a reference to just Chavis or the dreaded prevent defense we ran in 4th quarters). The issue was we knocked out so many starters on LSU's team in the 1st quarter that they essentially birthed the modernized, collegiate version of the read option with Matty Mauk of all people. Neither Chavis, nor anyone else knew how to stop the option that particular day for some reason. Agreed on the meaninglessness of the current championship game.

I was there. We did ourselves a disservice when we knocked Rohan Davies out of the game. When Matty Mauk came in, we had no answers and didn't adjust our game plan one bit.

Now, the conference championship game means ZERO to me. The only thing it does is allow the winner to sit out a game in the playoffs. What's the worst thing? Well, you can lose one or two of your most critical players by playing that game for the remainder of the playoffs.

Now that bowls other than the playoff-involved ones are UTTERLY IRRELEVANT, let's just play 10 conference games.

Why 10? So we can show up for the playoffs beaten to death while teams like Ohio State has been able to finish most of their games with their PWO's.

It's not a big deal either way, much like the 9th SEC game isn't a big deal, especially when the playoffs do eventually expand to 16 or 24

If we keep the conference title games, fine someone gets crowned the conference champ,
if we don't it reverts back to the times we had 2-3 teams tie and win the SEC title, except with the larger conferences, it now could be 4-5 teams win the title

The way it's been forever, you can't help some conferences aren't as deep as the SEC, that will always be the case

For the playoffs purposes, the championship games are garbage.

But will everyone be fine with never being able to name a team SEC Champions? Preferably The Tennessee Volunteers.

Agree. My point is we don't need a 10 SEC game. I don't even like that we caved on the 9 game SEC schedule. This gives us (all SEC teams) a huge disadvantage over the course of a season.

I don't mind because we don't have to go a decade without playing every SEC team

Crazy it’s been 28 years since we last won the SEC and 19 years since we last played in the SEC title game
