SECCG winner and loser will both be in the CFP.

I'm not so sure.
If A&M upsets Texas in a close game, then obviously they move up in the rankings.
But if we beat A&M convincingly in the SECCG, they will have 4 loses and I think the selection committee might pick either Alabama or South Carolina over A&M since SC dominated A&M in Columbia but obviously it depends on how all the teams finish their regular seasons.
If SC beats Clemson and Bama looks weak vs Auburn, then I would pick SC over Bama but who knows what a B1G dominated committee will do. hahaa

So in that scenario the 4 SEC teams in the playoffs:
1. Georgia
2. Texas
3. Tennessee
4. Alabama or South Carolina

Yeah, you are right. I forgot about A&M's loss to Notre Dame.

I didn't think all of this through very well. This season has warped my brain.

Yeah, frick that.

Bama blew their chance last night.

I think so too losing to unranked OU.
Bama looked lost on offense and defense.
But they did lose on the road and if they dominate Auburn and SC loses to Clemson, then Bama might be the best option for a 4th SEC team in the playoffs, or maybe we only get 3 teams in.
As I said, with a B1G dominated selection committee, who knows what might be decided.

We’re in the SECCG now so need to focus on GT and get our minds and souls ready for the run.

Only one thing left to do:

quote:

At this point there is no way for the committee to omit the SECCG loser.

---

Horse shite.

One, if A&M makes ATL and loses, they would have 4 losses, so the committee would 100% omit the SECcg loser.

Two, if Georgia loses in ATL, it’s still not 100% that we would get in either though.

quote:

Playing in Atlanta is all up side with no down side other than not being SEC champ.

Disagree. If Georgia loses in ATL, they just played an extra game that they wouldn’t have had to play otherwise. You could call this missing out on a ‘bye week’ like Tenn or Texas potentially will get to enjoy.

So Georgia plays the extra game in ATL, suffering whatever injuries may occur, and getting banged up in an extra SEC contest…..then goes immediately on the road in two weeks instead of having three weeks off. That’s a pretty big downside.

Another downside is a potential third game against Texas or a second game against A&M further down the playoff road somewhere.

The biggest and really only upside to making ATL, in my opinion, is that it gives us a path to to the playoff should we get upset by the nerds Friday night. Which is entirely possible given how this season has shaken out.

Those who are dismissing any downside to making ATL aren’t being very logical . It’s an emotional and stupid argument if you ask me

The last two Saturdays have been a blast. There is so much riding on so many games for so many teams. Coach and player nerves are wearing thin. UGA's tough schedule ended up being a blessing because, like SC, we completed the SEC slate early. The Vols are going to be nervous as hell at Vandy next Saturday.

This is why we have to be laser focused on this game with the intent to blow them out of the stadium early. We can NOT go in there thinking about the SECCG.

I have an idea on how to do this…..

But I think I'm beginning to like this new system.

I have to admit that it’s been entertaining and counter intuitive that a LOT of these games have been more critical down the stretch than I would’ve guessed. And with the parity some of these upsets have been unreal and awesome to watch.

Our schedule sucked this year….but looking to next season man, there are some great home games coming up.

Beat GT and we are in the CFP pretty much no matter what
