News [Matt Hayes] The SEC willingly flushed its conference championship game that last year had better ratings than all eight first round CFP games of the brief, 12-team era.

Also most conference championships are younger than me. This isn’t Kansas v Mizzou being scrapped

I want conference championship games to continue existing and this will create a huge problem in CFP selection.

Currently the rumored plan is to give the P4 conference champions a guaranteed bye with four CFP slots but what would happen in a scenario like the 2000 B1G where Michigan, Northwestern, and Perdue were co-champions?

Do we just get fewer at-large bids? Who decides which co-champion gets the singular bye week for the B1G? What about when you have 2-3 co-champions for every P4 conference?
