Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Last night I got absolutely crushed working my bartending job because it was me and these two old man servers. I was running around until I was almost out of breath. Insanity. Stretched beyond all multitasking limits.

You know what I felt like by the end of it?

Oklahoma's offensive line last weekend 😎

GO DAMN VAWLS
 
I hover between 220-225lbs, but I'm 6'4". My morning routine probably helps, I call it the 2x4 (200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 200 crunches, 200 squats and run 7 miles after). . .
I'm 6'4" and around 220. Was almost down to 210 (my goal weight). But I fluctuate. Still will be overweight according to BMI.
 
Kirby hates playing in Jacksonville and is trying to get it changed to home/home. But the university makes so much money that he keeps getting overruled. And, obviously, while we never play in the Swamp, Florida never has to play in Athens.

UGA is one of—if the singular—most aggressive scheduling SEC teams. Since 2017, we’ve had home/home with ND, played Clemson twice, and played Oregon. And we play a minimum of 9 P5 games every year because of GT. We had a lousy 2023 schedule because our planned 23/24 home/home with Oklahoma got cancelled by the SEC when Oklahoma joined the league.
Well, that might make me change my mind about the Dogs. Nope, I still hate their guts.
 
Question: do you guys want to be in the SEC championship game?

Let’s just say we are 11-1 at end of regular season. Would you rather play another sure playoff team in a SEC championship game, or get the extra week to recover after a 12 game season. I guess you’d get an extra week off compared to teams 5-12 if you won the SEC championship. If you lost, you could theoretically have an extra game than the team you are playing in the first round of the playoffs has to play. I can see a scenario where you lose SEC Championship and play the third place Big 10 team (or even 3rd SEC team) in first round of playoffs.

I can even see a scenario where the SEC champ game is a blowout and the loser drops below the 3rd place SEC team in the playoff seeding

I'm not convinced either position is advantageous.

Talking odds of becoming the SEC champ (as the underdog - assumed, as we aren't 12-0 here) vs not playing in ATL at all.


I'd have to think the +/- will come down to the particular team vs the particular opponent.

For me, if you go to the SEC Championship, you better win it. Win it and get a bye in the playoff. Lose, you might not make the playoff or you play an away playoff game. Skip the Championship and you have a chance to host a playoff game maybe.

It just depends on how they are going to treat the loser of the championship games. If losing that game puts you on the fringe of the playoffs then it’s not worth playing in in my opinion. I just don’t know how they’re going to treat the losers.
