Is the SEC Championship really an accomplishment

For those of you who think the SEC Championship is not a BIG PRIZE, take a look at the SEC Championship game.

Georgia which is the number 6 team in the nation is not even in it. I think they would change places with us in a heartbeat.

Florida which is the number 12 team in the nation and has a Hypeman contender at QB, is not in it. I think they would trade places with us in a heartbeat.

 

This is what every SEC team shoots for every year! Being mentioned as a national title contender is a bonus! I'd rather LSU win the SEC every year than a NT. Again NT would be a great bonus though!

 

Good post. At the start of each fooball year the goal of each SEC team is to be in The SECCG.

 

I absolutely agree. If I had to choose between the SEC and the National Championship games, I'd opt for the SECCG every time, because first, at least the contenders are chosen by a sound system, and second, I'd put money that the winner of the SECCG could easily go toe to toe with the winner of the NC game, provided of course that they are a different team.

 

There is no doubt that playing in the SEC championship game is a major accomplishment. In many years, you could even argue that winning the SEC championship game is nearly equivalent to winning the BCS NC game.

Of course MANY would argue that and rightly so, but they do understand the point of that comment. Players and coaches strive to be the best of the best. Does winning the SEC Championship accomplish this? Perhaps in the minds of some fans.

 

Right on MT. I'm thankful and appreciative of the fact that we are going to get to watch our team in the SECCG.

Only problem is I don't know if I can take much more of SEC football. In 24 hours I have become an alcoholic and a 3 pack a day smoker.:lol:

 

It would be a great accomplishment no doubt that is why I am glad it is Tenn not a red hot Georgia team.

 

Huzzah! Well Said! ldskule:ldskule:

The SEC Championship actually means MORE than the MNC because it's a REAL championship won in a real, season-long playoff system. I think it's HUGE to be the best team in the nation's best conference! ldskule:ldskule:

 

a tenn team that went thru multiple OT's with one less day of rest.:thumb:

 

All of that and they appeared to get nicked up quite a bit as well.
