I would still rather make the playoff

and lose to a better team, than not make the playoff and play Pitt or Wake in a NY6 game, which seems to be one of the highly probable alternatives. Playing Pitt or Wake in a Bowl, doesn’t really move the needle for me. And to be honest, I’m surprised so many here are ok with this option. There are obviously other opponents we could end up playing, depending on the next few weeks outcomes/chaos, but for now, I’m gonna hope we win out, and get into the CFP.
