Who do you think will win the All-SEC national championship? Georgia or Alabama?
Don't care.Who do you think will win the All-SEC national championship? Georgia or Alabama?
Don't care.
Yup. If I'm not cleaning the toilet or something.....Pretty much how I feel as well. Probably watch some...

Alabama. And even though I really dislike how they set-up the chance or an all-SEC National Championship game the game will be on our TV.
I'll be watching because it could be a good game and for the historical significance of the game.
It will be only the 11th time in 40 years that Georgia will be playing Alabama. Historically that's how the SEC protects their guys on top.
Don't care.
Please, let it be GA. Pretty please with sugar on top.

I got down voted on /r/CFB for commenting this, but I really think this Championship will tank in viewership because it only has 1 conference to draw fans from. Sure there will be college football fans that will watch because its the championship, but they would be watching anyway.
When you have 2 conference, you wind up with fans from other teams in the conferences watching to see the outcome. Some are rooting for their conference, some are rooting against their rival. With 2 teams in the same conference playing, you lose out on a large number of those fans watching, because they count for both teams instead of just 1. It might even go down, because you may lose some SEC fans who don't care because the SEC clinched the title who would have otherwise watched and rooted for SEC.
Say what you want for who deserved to be there, but from a money standpoint I think this was a huge mistake, and the powers that are behind the CFP will try to prevent this from happening again.

You are probably right. I don't remember exactly what the TV ratings were, but I believe Bama-LSU for the 2012 BCS championship had the lowest ratings of any title game in modern history.

2002 Rose Bowl (Miami vs Nebraska) and 2005 Orange Bowl (USC vs Oklahoma) had lower ratings than Alabama-LSU.

Absolutely will not watch.
I hope it gets the worst ratings in the history of the CFP, by far!!!
Why should anyone in the country outside of the states of Alabama and Georgia give a crap about this game??? NO THANK YOU
Alabama didn't even win its conference.
14th Time since 1976. You are correct, they rarely meet. They also protect themselves by rarely playing North of the Mason-Dixon line in out of conference games. I give GA credit for scheduling a road game in South Bend earlier in the year.
Cheering for GA. Took them last March at 30-1 odds so that pretty much guarantees an Alabama victory and worthless ticket.
