This is just one scenario of many, but I think we're heading for a trainwreck.

This is what we know:
- Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia will all head into Championship weekend with 1 or fewer losses.

- The winner of Georgia/TN will be heading to Atlanta undefeated and ranked #1.


So if Tennessee beats GA convincingly is GA out of the playoff picture regardless of who wins the SECCG?

Basically, the question comes down to this: Who goes to the playoffs between the SECCG loser, and the team sitting at home with 1 loss.

I think obviously Alabama gets left out if they lose in Atlanta, but we all kinda know Alabama will win that game, so really it's about GA vs. TN.

If Alabama wins in Atlanta, I personally think TN should make the playoffs regardless.

No. Alabama will be left out. Their OOC schedule is a joke

Georgia is the new kings of the conference

They will get the benefit of the doubt over a washed up Bama program

You also assume Bama won’t lose again.

Be interesting to see what happens if Vols squeak by UGA and then lose to Bama in the SECCG in a close game.

UGA and UT seem sure to make it that far with 1 loss, Bama looks like they could have up to 4 losses by then.

If Alabama beats an undefeated Georgia in Atlanta, I think Georgia is out. People are tired of the Alabama Georgia saga.

I think TN gets into the playoffs regardless of what happens at this point.

Clemson, osu, and TCU win out. One of UGA/bama win the SEC. Which undefeated conference champ do you see Tennessee jumping?

Everyone knows 2 SEC teams are getting in this year. There are never 4 undefeateds in the playoffs.

I’d wait till after Bama visits Death Valley.

Defense is giving up over 20 points per game , not including Tennessee and double the yards.

This trends actually goes back to 2021.
It appears the road environment is really impacting Bama.

But to your question, the SEC needs in if TCU, Clemson, or OSU to lose to get more than the Champion in. And to be honest , it’s not looking good.
