Pros and cons of playing SECCG

PROS

• We could fricking win! If it's Texas, the spread would probably be closer to a pick em or Texas might be a slight favorite. shite, we might even end up as the betting favorite.

• I don't think we're consistent enough to win 4 playoff games in a row. We might be too inconsistent to win 3 playoff games in a row. But 3 would definitely work better and improve our statistical chances.

• 25 days in between games. For the "we wouldn't be risking injury if we miss the SECCG," we would still be "risking injury" if we played in the first round of the playoffs, except any injury in the SECCG would have either two weeks or 25 days to heal before the next game, while any injury in the first round of the playoffs would have 8 or 9 days to heal.

• Winning the SEC in the first year of the new expansion would be epic. Watching our players rip the giant SEC logo off of the wall and holding it up in the confetti after the game is always epic. Major trash talking point.

• Kirby needs more conference titles for his legacy. He has the same number of national championships as SEC championships. Saban got into this same pattern at Bama. Actually had more national titles than SEC titles after his first 5 seasons. But then he broke out of it.

CON

If we have another clunker like the Ole Miss game, we could miss the playoffs altogether. Recency bias and instant overreactions in the 18 hours between the end of the SECCG and the CFP selection show is real. Been there, done that.

I will admit that the only con is sort of a biggie
