re: is the SEC championship a playoff game for us

Committee just put 2 loss Missouri ahead of Louisville…..

which means exactly nothing at this stage of things. Louisville likely still has a CCG to play (I haven't looked into what happens if they lose this wknd) while Missouri does not; should Louisville keep winning they will of course jump missouri.

Looks like if Louisville beats FSU, UGA could still make the playoffs with a close loss to Bama.

OSU/Mich
Washington
Bama
UGA

Maybe, if there's a whole lot of stuff that happens like you mentioned prevoiusly. What if Texas continues to win? We aren't passing up a 1-loss big 12 champion. I'm not entirely sure we'd be in front of a 1-loss ACC champion either, despite knowing that we are definitely much better than louisville and knowing that we woudl have much better wins and much better loss than them...the committee has shown that it's rare for a 1 los P5 champ to not make it. I believe only once in 9 years has a P5 team won it's conference championship game and ended wiht 1 loss and NOT made the playoffs ohio state in 2018. In that year though there were 3 undefeated locks and the 4th team was also a 1-loss P5 champion.

And there is still a couple weeks to play to make it even more of a chance….

I think we just look it this from complete opposite ends. You seem to think that each week presents more chaos and more of a chance for craziness, while I'm of the mind that each week things get clearer and clearer and take a more solid shape. Every year of the playoffs, even late in the game in mid-late November people are always asking about all sorts of scenarios but then by December it's usually cut and dry.
