Probably been discussed already but say you're sitting with 2 losses but made the SEC championship game, how do you feel about that?
Would you rather not play in the championship game and settle with 2 losses and probably a guaranteed spot in the 12 team playoff or would you rather risk a 3rd loss and possibly be eliminated from the 12 team playoff?

Definitely something to consider.

Always play for a championship vs an unknown. IMO.

Can't play scared.

I can’t ever imagine a life worth living where I would not want to be SEC champ at the end of the season. That’s just the era I was raised in. Started watching games with my dad in the 70s

I think you will start seeing teams not really move after conference championship weekend with 12 teams.

They didn't really have that luxury with 4 teams. They HAD to use those games as a delineating factor.

The only way we get in the SECCG with two losses is if one of them is to Wisconsin.

I want to win each game on the schedule … check them off one at a time, then forget about them and move on to the next one … because if you do that everything else will take care of itself.

Personally I think the SEC Championship game should go away. Little to gain and everything to lose by playing it.
