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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SECChampionship?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SECChampionship<\/a> Saturday always begins with our student and student-athlete volunteers who help support the 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SEC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SEC<\/a> Football Championship Game! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LLI6peFMnj\">pic.twitter.com\/LLI6peFMnj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Greg Sankey (@GregSankey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregSankey\/status\/1730953783339802741?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>By the way, Sankey is correct!
