Alabama AD Drops Bombshell on SEC Championship’s Fate: Has the Opportunity Already Passed?
Advertisement
No playoff existed back then. The conference championship became a way to create a prize (and more exposure and revenue) between the end of the regular season and bowl games. Other conferences eventually followed the SEC’s lead.
After the arrival of the BCS era and then the four-team playoff, conference championship games served as an important data point for postseason selection.
Once the playoff grew to 12 teams, the SEC championship game surrendered some clout. Consider last season. Georgia beat Alabama 28-7 on Dec. 6 in Atlanta. No sooner had the game ended than all focus shifted to the playoff — in particular, whether Alabama’s loss would cost it a playoff spot, even as other SEC teams not in the game enjoyed firm footing for qualification.
