Lane Kiffin’s comment about other SEC coaches not wanting to play in the conference championship game doesn’t track for Urban Meyer.

“I can’t even think like that,” Meyer said during “The Triple Option” podcast.

“What do you (mean), you hope you don’t go to the championship game? Like, I don’t — what do you like, you go and then you eat dinner afterward? You get up in the morning, as you’re driving to work, do you say, ‘Boy, I hope we don’t win the SEC Championship.’ I mean, that doesn’t compute.”

Earlier this week, the Ole Miss coach said league coaches don’t want to risk another loss – even in the conference title game – and be left out of the College Football Playoff. The thinking is a two-loss SEC team which doesn’t make the title game has a better chance of making the CFP than a 3-loss team which lost in Atlanta.

“I’ve talked to other coaches, so I’ll just kind of give you the feeling from some other coaches that. They don’t want to be in it,” Kiffin said of the SEC. “You know, the reward to get a bye (in the CFP) versus the risk to get knocked out completely. I mean, that’s a that’s a pretty big — that’s a really big risk.

“I think it has ended up being a very unique situation of all postseason sports, the way that system is set up there. How you could go to (the SEC Championship) and get knocked out (of the CFP race)? And if you don’t go (to the SEC Championship game), you’re in.”
