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

Yes I want to be the SEC champs. That means you get the first round bye.

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.

Loser gets the 5 spot likely which will be the easiest play in. Play the teams and build confidence.

Idk what’s worse making promises in NIL but not abiding by those commitments or quitting on teammates?

We’re talking about a game here but if you were offered a job and told you were going to be given this and they end up not doing it…wouldn’t y’all quit too? Lol

If my employer quits paying me I’m outta here

Did you ever “plateau” and how did you work through that?

I do plateau every once in a while..I'll have a 2-3 week stretch where I will only lose like a pound and a half, so I just cut back during the work week by eating no meat or cheese snacks during the day...just pork rinds, and eating a lot less meat on the weekend than I normally do.

Then I will usually drop 5-8 pounds in a couple of weeks.

It is admittedly hard to do that, but it is worth it to not get discouraged.

I never gain unless it's during a cheat period, but it can and does slow way down occasionally, and that is what I have to do to get over a hump.

The fact that we lost (temporarily, hopefully) one of our top football recruits while we are on an absolute HIGH right now, just shows that there is no rhyme or reason to recruiting. Kids are kids - unpredictable

Yeah and OR could have gone all in.

You might have the history right, but the recent push has been Kirby trying to get the game back to home/home.

I didn't mean to erase that on you. Thought maybe I was going on too much about it and had nuked it in time. But you clearly read it right.

What you say now is correct. My point is that Kirby always says the reason he wants home and away is hosting recruits. That's why I think y'all will keep at changing the hosting rule. I hope that fails. If it passes, my read is that Kirby will like the neutral field with home field benefits.

For now, I see it is two more years in Jax, followed likely by neutral site games in Tampa or somewhere else in FL (I forget where) and Atlanta. Neutral site games are not true road games, and that makes a difference in the toughest conference to play on the road. Oregon in Atlanta is not really a neutral site. But I did dig your home-and-away with ND. We've done that before, but not in a while.
