Maybe German, but this is the last year for the SEC football championship game

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Conference moving toward an expanded national playoff series and have made the championship game obsolete. Maybe someday (sans Lebby) we will taste that series. Naw...............

And there’s still one team we know that never did and never will !
17-em!

If KT plays the entire year I suspect we make the playoff. Which really isn’t that amazing an accomplishment anymore

….Unless it is coached by Lebby.

Going forward 5-4 in the SEC will pretty much guarantee a playoff bid. 4-5 might even get one. May as well just go to 64 and be done with it.

It is for us. It’s like jumping high enough to touch the rim. Even though you can’t dunk, it’s still something.

How many sugar bowls appearances does it take to outweigh an 8-5 team with a SECCG loss

Getting to the Sugar Bowl is not what it once was.
Used to be you had to WIN the SEC Title to go.
Now you could not even be 2nd in the conference and go.

And the RebBearSharts have STILL never played in the game!

I think, at the end of the day, we'll end up being happy about this. First, it gives us more of a shot. Secondly, more teams will care down the stretch, and third, even the bluebloods can't pack it up and go home because if you start stumbling, that can roll downhill quickly.

I know you're joking about 64, but there is plenty of data to stop where we are:

NAIA: 20 of 96, 21%
D3: 40 of 240, 17%
D2: 28 of 300, 9%
FCS: 24 of 120, 20%
FBS: 24 of 134, 18%

Probably should have done 16-20, but we're still in the acceptable range. Hope they leave this alone for about 20 years. The 24-teamer will still be able to handle whatever chaos is coming from the ACC split within a decade from now.

Only State could make a loss their greatest accomplishment ever.

When we went in 98 my dad said, "oh, we'll just go the next time we make it"

Survey says.... that was a lie

Yeah. I'll go to the Final Four next time we make it too. **
