The Southeastern Conference Championship is historically an exciting game. It’s where some of the greatest football is played; legends are born; boys become men; and the winner is crowned king of the SEC. However, since the birth of the College Football Playoff in 2014, there was something missing. Although the games were full of exciting plays and hard hitting football, it wasn’t the same as it once was for two reasons.
First, prior to the CFP, the SEC Championship almost always decided who would go on to play for a National Title. Now the CFP means more championship football, which turns conference championships into another notch on the belt for teams.
Second, Alabama has taken a lot of fun out of the SEC Championship. The Crimson Tide is like that one kid who hit puberty in fourth grade. While everyone is phasing out their lego star wars shirt, he’s shaving before school. Recess was never fun with this kid because he stood a good two feet taller than everyone and weighed fifty pounds more. Since 2014 Alabama has won four of the five conference titles, launching them into the CFP. Even in 2017 when Alabama lost the West to Auburn, they still made it into the Playoffs…and won yet another National Championship.
However, 2019 brings back a ton of excitement. The main reason being Alabama is nowhere to be found in the Playoff race. But also because LSU and Georgia is an exciting matchup. The Tigers have one of the most electrifying offenses in the country. That being said, Georgia’s defense will give LSU a significant challenge. Yes, this game should be exciting, but more importantly it rejuvenates fans of football everywhere. We picked the games on Instagram, but here are our thoughts on LSU vs Georgia.
