It’s honestly kind of strange why this is suddenly a big talking point
List of teams to lose their CCG and subsequently fall out of Playoff position:
- 2023 Georgia
- (edit: also 2022 USC, thanks u/ThisIsOurGoodTimes)
- 2018 Georgia (to an undefeated Alabama by 7)
- 2017 Auburn
- 2017 Wisconsin
Not to mention how every other CCG loser got dropped by at least a few spots.
No, a team “opting out” of a conference championship game is not a valid option and would count as a forfeit; if you want to not participate or rest starters, you accept the risk of losing like in the NFL or any other sport. No, I don’t care whether dropping CCG losers threatens the existence of CCGs; that’s not the committee’s job to consider. No, it shouldn’t matter what Greg Sankey threatens to do to the playoff
