SEC's chokehold on football will tighten if Rose Bowl sunsets and other trivialities are prioritized over CFP expansion

On Monday in Indianapolis, right in the heart of the Big Ten, two SEC schools played for the national championship.

Georgia won, defeating Alabama to give the SEC its third consecutive title. What should be even more concerning for the rest of the sport is this was the third different team in those three years (Alabama and LSU were the others). It’s also the 12th title by five different SEC schools (add in Auburn and Florida) since the 2006 season.

You can talk about Nick Saban’s juggernaut in Tuscaloosa all you want, but it’s the league as a whole that keeps churning out champions.
