re: For those wishing for a SECCG birth, explain the reasoning behind the risk.

If I’m reading this correctly we are going to the SEC championship if Ole Miss beats MSU?

IMO the best case scenario
1.A&M losing a very close game to Bama
2.Indiana wins the Big 10
3.And Texas Tech winning big 12.
IU, Texas Tech, OSU, A&M top 4
Hopefully that would put us in the no. 5 spot and hosting the no.12 ranked team in Athens with the chance to play Indiana in the quarterfinals

Why wouldn't it be Texas A&M beats Alabama, and Texas Tech loses, and we definitely stay at 4 and get a bye?

This is a dumb narrative in my personal opinion if you have the ability to play in the championship game you play in it. The SEC title game still means something, play to win.

Be ignorant about their offense all you want. King is a top 3 QB in the nation and they will move the ball and score against us

False equivalence: We have to play Charlotte and GT

But the starters don’t HAVE to play…

But to address your question, yes the starters should be pulled as soon as both games are in hand.

But they could get hurt on the first couple drives of a meaningless game….why risk it. Womp womp


I want to win the SECCG every dame year. I don’t want a bye in the playoffs. Taking 6 weeks off with holidays in there and limitations on practice, etc is detrimental to a team.

There’s a reason every bye team lost in the playoffs last year…you don’t hit some opponents for 5 weeks, you are rusty. You don’t play another opponent and get real game time looks, you get rusty.

The ONLY thing any team in the SEC can control is winning the SECCG and it’s a slight step down from the watered down playoff championship and definitely better than making to the CFB Playoff Championship and losing
