Just a thought experiment.
Given two choices, and only one of these two, on how this season ends, which would you pick today?
Scenario 1: Ole Miss not only gets to Atlanta, but wins the SECCG (let’s say beating Texas). However, we are guaranteed to lose the 2nd round playoff game
Scenario 2: no SECCG, but we get in the playoff and play the first round on the road. That’s it: the outcome is unknown.
