Should Alabama upset No. 1 Georgia on Saturday in the SEC championship game, the conference could be on the outside looking in when the four College Football Playoff teams are selected Sunday.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said Thursday that it would "be a disrespect to the SEC if there isn't an SEC representation in the (CFP)."

Speaking on the SEC championship game teleconference, Saban first said his focus was on Saturday's game, but when pressed on the issue, he reiterated what he said on "The Pat McAfee Show" earlier Thursday: An SEC team should be in the playoff despite the Crimson Tide-Bulldogs outcome.
