Since I'm reading there is no East vs West in the SEC next year

How will the teams be chosen to play for the SEC Championship game?

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Conference record.

 

[Go47]

The two best records I think. And then I guess they have a tie breaker system / head to head etc.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

Realistically, a 7-1 SEC record will get you into the championship imo, just like before. SEC wins are going to be dang hard to come by. Vols luckily get to keep Vandy on the schedule every year. The other teams won’t have that luxury.

Should always be like this in every conference. hopefully we stop playing Bama every year

No. We should keep Bama every year! If you’re going to be the best team you don’t run from competition, you welcome it!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rocky Top T]

Old news. They decided no divisions over a year ago. Top 2 teams

Sure you can get to the championship game by playing a back breaking schedule every year. That’s how Ga and Bama do it. Not.

We can still play them regularly. How about every other year? It's simply a massive disadvantage to us as a program. All because it's what we did 50+ years ago. Hurts us in every way possible- record, recruiting, etc. it's very likely Georgia has zero or 1 natty over the last 2 seasons if they had to play Bama in regular season.

Antiquated thinking. Clemson won 2 NCs without playing anyone nearly as good as Bama during the regular seasons.

Draw straws

They would if we upheld our end of the bargain.

Georgia and Bama can’t exactly play themselves. When you’re the best of course all your competition is going to be worse.

The schedule format for 2025 is not decided yet. Could be a 6 / 3 format.

Check out GA schedule next year. They are gonna have to earn it in 2024 as far as the regular season is concerned

 

[VolBricks]

the two teams will be picked by little Nicky, since he controls the SEC offices.

They finally have to play a tough schedule, 6/7 tough games they could screw up on.

Such a tired take. If they beat Bama they will have beaten two end of the year top 10 teams, 3 top 15, and 4 top 25.

But not getting beat up week after week by tough teams throughout the year. They meet 1/2 tough teams in regular season play, then play 2/3 tough teams in the playoffs. far to many cupcakes in regular season.

Add Oklahoma to their schedule this year and no one would have legit argument. Not their fault the SEC made them cancel it. They haven't lost in so long. It's a dumb argument

Jarts. Last 2 standing.

We all know who the good teams are and they haven’t played many during the season (or on the road) despite what the rankings might say.

That makes no sense. They have played as many as most. Especially when you take into account they were not allowed to play Oklahoma this year even though they were scheduled to
