I agree with this. I think Kiffin is pretty safe regardless of what happens. Kelly better make the playoffs this year or he won’t be able to sit down.

Three berths is likely the most the SEC gets. Four is possible. But no way will five SEC teams be ranked in the top 11. Teams will beat up on each other way too much.

I think a pretty significant percentage of the following fanbases expect to be in the playoffs this upcoming season.

Alabama
Ole Miss
LSU
Georgia
Tennessee
Missouri
Texas
Oklahoma

But there’s not room for them all.

I tend to agree with you on this point your making. Because everyone and their brother expecting a drop off with Bama. Hoping we don't, but if we do someone has to take that spot. Is it Texas? LSU? Ole Miss? Tennessee? Who?
That's the point the OP is making and who's seat gets hottest if they don't. Who knows, CKD may hit the ground running and make this a moot point..lol

That's why there's no way I'll be upset to miss the play offs. There's too much luck involved in football to get mad about going 8-4 or 9-3 rather than 10-2, unless you're Georgia or Alabama.

I will be disappointed for sure, though, if we don't make it.

Kelly's seat is not hot and won't be hot; you seriously have no idea what you are talking about
