3 wins over the top 25 by a combined 85 points with georgia tech still to go. Strength of schedule won't be a problem.

Like I mentioned in the thread last week of who you should pull for:

Clemson STAYING in the top 25 despite the loss to GT is huge for UGA.

UGA will play a 18th ranked GT. A win moves them up.
UGA then will play a top 5 ranked SECW team (obviously provided Missouri drops a game). A win moves them in the top 4.

Pull for Clemson to beat SC
Pull for GT to remain in the top 25 if UGA beats them.

The problem here is TCU, Baylor, Ohio State, Mississippi State, and Alabama. We can only knock one of them off, and I don't think any of those, other than the one we beat, will lose again. Putting a 2 loss Georgia ahead of a conference winning Ohio State, TCU/Baylor, and a one loss Mississippi State doesn't seem likely to me with a committee who thinks Ohio State and TCU are the sixth and fifth best teams.

Of course I think we would be deserving.

Mississippi State, and Alabama.

Can knock off one, and don't see other getting over SECCG
Also maybe Tech or Florida can knock off FSU

Best chance might be for OM to beat State. Certainly couldn't hurt

What? no. We need Bama to come into the SECCG as the number 1 and beat them.

Alabama needs to be #1 when we play them.

Ole Miss beating State would help as well, as long as it doesn't vault them past us permanently. I just don't see Ohio State, TCU, Baylor, FSU, or Oregon losing again. We shall wait and see. I mean we still don't have a secg birth yet.

No we don't. If Bama loses we would play a 2-loss OM or 1-loss MSU in the SECCG

They don't carry the same clout as a number 1 Bama


ETA: good edit

Still?


3 weeks ago you said these teams were in our way:

quote:

we won't go with oregon, fsu, TCU, Michigan State, and Notre dame out there.



Me:

quote:

The odds of every team you listed winning out are essentially nil. In all likelihood, there will be multiple losses above us in the rankings over the next 6 weeks. There are 6 teams ahead of us right now outside of the SEC. Those 6 teams, combined, have 28 regular season games left with 10 ranked opponents and a handful of conference titles. You think they're all going to win out?

IF we win the SEC title, we're not going to be competing with 6 one loss teams. My guess is we're competing with 2.


Since then, there have been 4 losses among those teams in just 3 weeks, and there is still a lot of football to be played. There will continue to be losses ahead of us even though there "shouldn't be". The only thing we should concern ourselves with right now is UGA.

OSU could lose to Gordon & Wiskey in B1g CCG
TCU...prolly wins out (Tex is best game left)
Baylor... prolly wins out... (Ok. St & K.State left)
FSU... could lose to GT or Duke in ACCCG
Oregon...prolly wins out (weak PAC12 South)

We still outside, lookin in...

If we win out...we are in at #4. Lose to GT yet win the SECCG gets the best west team who did not play in(and lose) the SECCG . Likely a 1 loss Bama or MSU.

TCU just about choked against Kansas last week right? Texas has surprised a few teams. They've also had some awful games. Let's hope Charlie Strong has them ready for that one.

And Baylor isn't guaranteed to beat KSt (even though I think they will)

While each team individually has a greater than 50% chance of winning out, ESPN's FPI says there's a 7% chance that they all do.

We'd be even higher in the rankings if the ref didn't make the bad call on TG's 53 yard TD run in the South Carolina game.
