Face it, the SEC Championship game IS the National Championship game. Just sucks that whoever wins will be limping into the National Championship against... whichever team.

Florida beating florida state puts 13 of their 14 of the SEC conference teams in a bowl game.

(adding OU & Texass would leave the horns & vandy as the only 2 teams to not go bowling + adds OU as a perpetual playoff contender)

imo, every saturday match up in the SEC is like playing a bowl game.

personally the great thing about the college play off system is it sets up a lot of rivalries & controversy (that carries over during the off season over a cold one at happy hour) over who has the best team, or who has the toughest schedule, or who’s team is a pretender.

makes the college game a lot more interesting than watching the kneelers.

That was my thought as well when I saw he took the job at Second Choice.

I cannot disagree with you. I could try, but I would fail.

If Alabama wins, then a rematch. Although Georgia looks too strong, and Alabama is suspect this year.

It’s been a long time for Georgia to win the National Title.
They usually field a pretty good team, but never get it done.

Looks like this is their year. I watched them play and they look good.

I see Lincoln Riley chickened out.

They haven't reported his pay package yet, have they? Maybe OJ made him a deal he couldn't refuse.

Just when it looked like Tennessee got themselves a decent coach, OU might steal him.

The Winners will get an invite to meet the real “Brandon”!
That could be a real ‘Gasser”.

georgia has dominated everyone they played this year.

strange things can happen in college football.

iirc, a few years back LSU got into the playoffs with two losses and won it all?? help me out. my memory is fuzzy on this.

looks to me like ol linc didn’t relish the idea of hooking it up in the SEC every saturday after spending all these years in a conference where all he had to do was beat texass & okie state to get an automatic bid to the playoffs.

moving out west puts him in a better situation: beat oregon and get an bid to the playoffs.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

Sneaking to the SEC in the middle of the night is different.

College football is all about regional tradition, not selling out to national woke TV interests.

I think (and hope) it’s more likely South Carolina loses their first year coach.

I am a Bama fan as well and last year’s Bama Team would beat the current Bama Team one by 3 TDs. This year’s team is good (thank you Bryce Young and Will Anderson), but the youth and inexperience shows up almost every game. I hope I am wrong, but I expect Georgia to win on Saturday. I would say that this year’s Georgia team looks as dominant as last year’s Alabama Team, or the LSU Team the year before.

They played Auburn’s defense and crumbled.....

Finished the first half with only 3 points on the board.....

Whose defense is better? Auburn’s or Georgia’s?
