Birmingham, Alabama – Apparently sour about the early exit of his conference’s powerhouse teams, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey insisted to CFB News Now on Monday night that his conference was, nevertheless, represented in the College Football Playoff National Championship finale.
“Lest I remind you that Notre Dame is an independent, so in my book, with referee Steve Marlowe & Co. being there, we feel comfortable saying this was a Big Ten-SEC championship game,” Sankey said via FaceTime during the first quarter of the Notre Dame-Ohio State game.
“The teams of our conference should have been here—and undoubtedly would have been here—if not for Parker Jones, or if Steve Sarkisian knew what a halfback dive was. Couple little tweaks here and there and it wouldn’t be just the officiating crew that made the trip to Atlanta tonight,” Sankey said.
What does that mean for the SEC’s claim to still being the most dominant league in the sport? Status quo, Sankey said.
“Look, it just means more in the SEC, what don’t you get about that?” Sankey said, apparently beginning to lose his patience.
“Ole Miss woulda beat either one of these teams anyway, so this championship is ours,” Sankey yelled before hanging up abruptly.
