SEC’s Greg Sankey Says Conference 'Deserves Seven' CFP Berths

Overview

• Sankey made the case on SEC Network before the SEC Championship Game, framing the push as a reflection of the league’s depth.
• He specifically named Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt and Texas as worthy of inclusion.
• He pointed to seven SEC teams in the top 14 of the latest CFP rankings and called Alabama’s road win at Georgia the best result on the board.
• Analysts characterize the comments as advocacy and expect the committee to cap SEC participation at about five teams.
• Alabama is viewed as safely in after BYU lost to Texas Tech, and the CFP field will be announced Sunday at 11 a.m. Central on ESPN.
