You guys realize that we probably lost our chance to win the West right?

Yeah Auburn beating Alabama doesn't look like a realistic possibility at this point. However, if we get into the playoffs, I'll still be happy.

Would have much rather won the west than not though.

Here's what I'm hoping for and what becomes a bigger question. IF... if we were to win out and be ranked #4 in the playoff, is that just as good or not better than playing an extra game for the SEC title? You dont' risk a loss or injuries.

The flip side is that it may take a lot of other teams losing so we can secure that #4.

I don't see how we aren't number 4 if win out.

Well yeah...technically if we were to win out that would probably be better than winning the West.

How nice would it have been to just sit and enjoy a carefree Egg Bowl though?

Yall really need Baylor to lose to Kstate. That's the only team I could see surpassing yall if you both win out. Assuming they put some extra value on conference championships.

Oregon getting taken down in the P12 title game would help as well.

Call me a pessimist, but I don't see us getting into the top 4 without quite a bit of help even if we win out. I think the committee is gonna push that conference champ qualifier hard.

On a positive note, that 400 bucks that was going to the SEC Championship ticket will now become a PS4.

I haven't bought Call of Duty in years and I finally broke down and bought this last one.

I normally only play sports games but I wanted to do some 1st person shooter so I went ahead and got it.

A championship they'd win in a game they don't have to actually play... Making them actually the same as us. Even if you say our wins are comparable, which I'd argue -- a 14 pt road loss in West Va still < a 5pt road loss in Alabama...

I think you will be surprised by the love we get from the committee.


I'm curious as to how they would handle Bama or State losing in Atlanta. Do you just overlook that loss? Definitely isn't fair to punish a team for winning the division. But could end up being advantageous for us to not win the West.

On the other hand, if you play Missou you get a guaranteed win. If you play UGA, you get to play UGA and God knows they will shite the bed in Atlanta.

We should be the second one loss team, right behind Bama. I don't think they will do it, because they have basically given Oregon a mulligan on their loss. Don't think there is any legitimate way to rank us behind the rest though, that Auburn win at K State has really helped the SEC out.
