I think we do because we have a bunch of tiebreakers

A few scenarios
If we lose to Oklahoma and beat Auburn we are still in.
If we lose to both we are out.
If we beat Oklahoma and lose to Auburn we are still in.
If we lose to Oklahoma and beat Auburn we are still in.
If we lose to both we are out.
If we beat Oklahoma and lose to Auburn we are still in.

The SEC football tiebreaker rules are a series of steps used to break ties in the conference standings to determine championship participants. They proceed in descending order: 1) head-to-head competition among the tied teams, 2) record against all common conference opponents, 3) record against the highest-ranked common conference opponent, 4) cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents, 5) relative total scoring margin versus all conference opponents, and 6) a random draw.
If we win, the only 2 we would have to contend with would be UGA and Ole Miss
uga win point #1
Ole Miss we would win with point #3
Yes win and we get Texas AM in the SEC championship

Honestly, kind of weird to know the Iron Bowl could be rendered completely irrelevant...... in an objective sense.
Beat OU and and our ranking and tie-breakers are likely high enough that neither our SEC or Natty campaigns are altered by a hiccup on the plains.
(I suppose the rub would be the SEC title now becoming an elimination game, as it would be a potential third loss in that scenario)

I want that mulligan in our pocket going into the Iron Bowl. The Barn looks like they found some offense somewhere. We play tight with the postseason on the line, they play loose with nothing on the line...the usual scenario.

Sankey and Petitti have made it very clear to the committee that they don’t want the loser of their CCG to be penalized.

Yes, we need to win against either Oklahoma OR Auburn to clinch a spot in the SEC title game.
Let's just win the rest of our games so we clinch a spot in the playoff regardless of SECCG outcome.

The answer is yes, 7-1 in SEC play gets us into the SEC title game no matter how anything else shakes out.
Our opponent is looking likely to be A&M or Georgia/Texas, in that order of like hood. Georgia and Texas play an elimination game next week to see who still is in the running.
Ole Miss is still mathematically alive but realistically has no shot.
