I wonder if they’re aware of how desperate and pathetic they’re coming across

But you wouldn't make it over an undefeated TCU, the real battle would be with a 1 loss USC that also has a conference championship under the belt

If osu and Michigan play an extremely tight game or even go into ot than both are in and ut is out.

Yep.
Selection order:
1 - Undefeated P5's
2 - 1-loss P5 champs
3 - 1-loss P5 non-champs/2-loss P5 champs/undefeated G5's.
Looking back on it, there's not a clear history on how the committee looks at the groups in the 3's. They've generally favored 1-loss non-champs over 2-loss champions... but in those cases the 1-loss teams generally were coming from lesser conferences. I'm not sure how they'd treat LSU in relation to say UGA/UT/Michigan.
Things like SOS only come into play when making a selection from within a group... it's not going to put a 1-loss non-champ in ahead of a 1-loss champ.

We’re 3 games in to basketball season. Why are we looking at SoS ratings already?

Miss State #2 toughest schedule. I think every site had us top 5 SOS.

That wouldn’t be a battle at all

Vandy no. 1……unfortunately that isn’t unusual.

11. LSU and will rise. TN not so much.

So...if LSU wins the SEC CG and USC, UNC/Clemson and TCU win out. I guess they could justify having:
OSU/Michigan winner (Undefeated P5)
TCU (Undefeated P5)
USC (1-loss P5 Champ)
UNC/Clemson (1-loss P5 Champ)
In theory, they could lock Georgia out as a 1-loss P5 non-champ. It would be crazy to see them justifying a 1-loss USC, UNC or Clemson over UGA...but they would be P5 champs. Now...if that were to happen, it would seriously undermine the process and would lead the way for more support for an expanded playoff...which may be what they are trying to get, anyway.

I’m curious why you think this. The loser of that game would have the exact same credentials as UT, non-division winning 1-loss season. The difference is IT would have beaten Bama and LSU, two top ten ranked teams, while OSU’s best win would be Penn state or maybe ND. UM’s would be PSU

UT was uncompetitive in their loss to UGA.
The game started. You blinked. And UGA was up 21-3 at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. 3 Score deficit almost the entire game, sacked 7 times, didn’t score a TD until 4 minutes left. Non-competitor.
If OSU/Michigan is a classic - the loser takes #4 spot I think. Winner takes #2. If TCU goes unbeaten they take #3. TN left out. If TCU loses, TN takes #3. Committee will do whatever it takes to not have an SEC semi-final.

I doubt they set such a precedent. They would treat uga 2022 as they did uga 2021 imo.

Maybe...One thing you didn't have in 2021...a 1-loss P5 Champion left on the outside looking in.
Big-12: Baylor 11-2
Pac-12: Utah 10-3
ACC: Pitt 11-2

They would view uga as one of the clear top 4 teams, above usc or TCU, so would not even use the conference title as a tie breaker.
