Amid a flurry of questions about potentially expanding the College Football Playoff, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Monday night the conference still sees the value in its championship game.  It has almost become accepted that playoff expansion means the death of the conference championship game.

In a College Football Playoff world, one where a single loss can make or break a postseason berth, Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer is on board with the active importance of a SEC Championship Game.

And the ongoing chaos in college football could cause one of its most important conferences to ditch the NCAA entirely. Via ESPN, Georgia coach Kirby Smart recently suggested that ongoing issues regarding playoff expansion and NIL could result in the SEC seceding from the NCAA.
