The SEC’s football championship will end with its Dec. 5 game in Atlanta, a decision Bulldogs fan Mike Scott supports even as he is less enthusiastic about the playoff plan taking shape for next season.

The conference announced Monday that this year’s contest at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be the 35th and final edition. Scott spoke at Coaches Corner in Thunderbolt.

The College Football Playoff is preparing to grow from 12 teams to 24 next season. Under the planned format, Power Four conference champions would receive automatic spots, the top eight seeds would earn first-round byes, and the first two rounds would be played on campus.
