Ah, yes – it is the height of drinking game season. First, we had the Iron Bowl, and now the official unofficial kind of undisputed king of the drinking games is back for the 2018 SEC Championship. We got #1 ranked Alabama and #4 ranked Georgia duking it out for a spot in the College Football Playoff. A lot of folks think ‘Bama is in no matter the outcome of this game, but I don’t think it’s so easy for ’em.
You have guys like Danny Kanell out there advocating for the Tide to sit out the CFP if they don’t win tomorrow. I think that’s a legitimate attitude among college football analysts and fans alike. I mean, people were pissed that Alabama got in last year, but they didn’t have the opportunity to lose in a conference championship because Auburn won the Iron Bowl. Losing at this stage in the game, you’re going to have an awful lot of eyes on you.
If people were outraged that last year’s ‘Bama team got in, can you imagine the accusations people would hurl at the committee this year if they were able to sneak in similarly to last year but with a worse schedule? So, I think the committee would lean towards an Oklahoma or Ohio State team with a conference title over Alabama with a recent loss on a big stage and no conference title. That’s assuming both or either of those teams win tomorrow, though.
Just my two cents. Alabama is currently around a 14-point favorite to win this game, but I say it’s going to be closer than that. Anyway, let’s get you to what you came here for: the drinking game.
