ATLANTA -- As No. 1 Georgia prepares to play No. 8 Alabama in Saturday's SEC championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said the thought of his league being left out of the four-team College Football Playoff isn't the "real world."
Some analysts have argued that if Alabama upsets Georgia on Saturday, both teams could be left out of the CFP, depending on what happens in other conference championship games.
Sankey, in an interview on ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday, said a case could be made that both the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide deserve to be in the CFP.
