Eli Drinkwitz comments on SEC eliminating conference championship game due to CFP expansion

The College Football Playoff will expand to 24 teams in 2027, and conference championship games will be eliminated under an agreement between the playoff and ESPN. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz commented on the change as college football adjusts its calendar. The new schedule begins with games in late August, moves the Army-Navy game to early December and sets the national championship for January 24 in New Orleans.
