The NCAA Football playoff is set to expand to 24 teams, a move that would eliminate the SEC Championship Game, according to a report published on November 10, 2026.
The change would mark a significant restructuring of the college football postseason. The SEC title game, which most recently saw Georgia defeat LSU 50-30 in Atlanta on December 3, 2022, would be discontinued under the new format. Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett was named the MVP of that championship game.
