I'll always take Scenario 1 to get the Egg Bowl win

I'd say that last game is worth about 1.9 games. I'm still going to always choose more wins, but it does mean the most. Not only is it the team I hate the most, its also the last game of the season, and our last chance to improve the season.

Now, if X ≥ Y, I think it's safe to say we all pick X.
But, if X < Y, do you still pick X? Or does it depend on how many fewer wins?
If Y gets us a NY6 bowl I take that. If we're talking about 7, 8 or MAYBE even 6 wins and going to one of the Outback/Dukes/MusicCity/TX group of bowls either way, give me X.
