Commissioner Greg Sankey Says SEC Being Left Out, Calls Out Other Conferences

Since the four-team tournament was introduced in 2014, the SEC has never been left out of the College Football Playoff. However, there is conjecture that this run may come to an end this weekend if No. 8 Alabama defeats No. 1 Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, leaving the SEC without a perfect team.

According to some pundits, depending on what transpires in other conference championship games, both Alabama and Georgia might not make the College Football Playoffs if they upset Georgia on Saturday.

In an interview that aired on ESPN’s “College GameDay” on Saturday, Sankey stated that one might argue that the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide should both be in the postseason.

Greg Sankey, the commissioner of the SEC, isn’t buying that and vigorously advocated on Saturday for his conference to go to the playoffs regardless of the outcome between the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs.

“That’s not the real world of college football,” Sankey said on College GameDay. “Let’s go back to Sesame Street to make it really basic because one of these things is not like the other, and that is the Southeastern Conference. We have five of the top 15 teams.

“We actually don’t send signs to other people in advance,” he added, poking fun at the Michigan sign-stealing scandal. “But that is cool too. But we have a third (of the top 15), and our teams are playing everyone in the conference. They are all attached and have to overcome a lot of adversity in intense environments. There are going to be close games. But the reality is that no one has experienced the success that we have in the playoffs. So when you actually put us against the teams rather than in the committee rooms, we stand alone.”

By the way, Sankey is correct! Warning: there is a spoiler: the SEC is superior than all others. Simply is. You’re crazy if you believe that, in the event that the Dogs lose tonight, the committee would exclude a Georgia team with one defeat from the playoffs. It’s not happening, people. I swear that won’t be the case.

Why is SEC so much better at football?

Being an SEC club comes with physical and mental fortitude, which is a major factor in the SEC’s dominance, especially over the last five seasons. especially the notion that playing defense and rushing the ball are the two main strategies for winning championships.

What is the biggest rivalry in SEC football?

University of Georgia vs. University of Florida is one of the best football rivalries in the Southeast, despite the fact that it sounds like a popular animal video on YouTube. This yearly fight’s record is in dispute. Georgia maintains a 54-44-2 advantage, but Florida asserts that it is 53-44-2.
