Hypothetical - LSU over Florida
Before I answer the poll- SEC Championship Game or regular season?
I'm of the opinion that whoever wins the SECCG is a shoe-in for the title game if they one loss or less. So, if LSU beat Florida and lost one along the way, they'd still have a pretty good shot at getting to play Florida again, assuming they beat Ole Miss OR Alabama and lose the other. Then, assuming Florida gets through, you're looking at, essentially, a national semi-final game in the SECCG, and the first game is nearly meaningless.
