Could someone explain to me, please, the difference between https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/8776/sec-championship-game and https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/52155/sec-on-cbs?
In particular the following episodes:
https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1988670/sec-championship-game-29x01-2020-sec-championship-game-1-alabama-crimson-tide-10-0-vs-7-florida-gators-8-2
https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1982433/sec-on-cbs-1x03-sec-championship-alabama-vs-florida
Isn't it the same game?

I definitely looks like it is the same game, I would suggest we delete the show with only 3 episodes?

I don't know, hence the question. Looks like the first show is for championships only, whereas the second one has other games as well, so deleting it entirely is probably not really correct.

Guess we will need someone with more insight on this :D
I'm no expert on college football here in the US (the whole system went through a major reorganisation a few years ago) but from what I can tell this is what the two entries are doing:
SEC Championship game is one specific game (think of it like the Super Bowl for that particular college division)
SEC on CBS looks like it's trying to list all of the SEC games (not sure if the plan is to only list bowl games or the entire season's schedule) So consider that one on the same level as say Thursday Night Football.
Unfortunately, college football isn't nearly as ... sane? as the NFL in terms of its bowl games. This is the reason for the reorg a few years ago. colleges wanted some sort of National playoff kind of scenario so they could tout a "national champion" the problem is colleges are broken up into I think it was four or six different regional divisions. So teams were shifted around to different divisions, other divisions were created, and the whole Bowl system was thrown into disarray.
With that bit of history in mind, someone is going to have to research what both of these entries are trying to do, as I don't think there was an "SEC Championship game" previous to maybe ten years ago. It would have been a specific bowl, the Orange Bowl, I think.
Well, the only place where I could find both names is futon, which lists all normal games as part of "SEC on CBS" (for example, 8 PM here http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/2020/12/05/), and championships as "SEC Championship on CBS" (8 PM here http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/2020/12/19/)
So I suppose the least we could do is to delete the duplicate episode from "SEC on CBS" and leave the rest for now.
