Just a thought here but, I have seen multiple 2024 CFP mocks with 3- 4 SEC teams in the final 12. What if there was an undefeated Georgia (or Texas) going into the SEC champ game. And the #2 and #3 SEC teams playing the last last regular season game against each other. Would #2 or # 3 consider actively (sitting starters) or passively (vanilla game plan) tanking that last game to fall to the #3 SEC bid to the CFP? (And avoid the SEC championship game) If you thought you had a low% chance to win the SEC title game (winner gets the first round CFP bye but loser has to play the first round of the CFP anyway) bowing out might be a pragmatic strategy. The benefit would be an extra week or to off to get ready for the CFP.

edit: (creating and MAINTAINING space)

So, In my opinion for football a 60yd time is more important than a 100yd time. 60yd gives a better estimation of acceleration (creating space). Assume the 60 yd time is the mark. Who are the 3-4 fastest 60yd time players on the roster right now? My uninformed guess is: 1. Silas Bolden 2. Jaydon Blue 3. Johontay Cook.

Curious for anyone's thoughts on this question. This year (and the last few years) BIG 12 BB has been a murder's row. If you came out at .500% or better you felt good about chances of making the Big Dance. SEC football (and Big 10 to an extent) is looking more like BIG 12 BB competition. With the expanded CFB playoff to 12 teams and the quality of teams in SEC, what conference record would you feel comfortable with to make the playoff?..... 7-1,6-2; 5-3, 4-4? There are stretches in SEC football now where you might play 3-4 ranked teams in a row. I think there could be a 5-3 SEC conference record team make the playoff depending on who the three losses are (and not crapping the bed on non-conference scrimmage games to start the season).
