re: SEC Playoff scenario

Ok, but let's say Auburn, and Georgia play for the SEC championship, and Auburn wins by 3 on a last second field goal. South Carolina loses by 1 to Georgia during the regular season and beats everybody else handily. Georgia has ONLY the loss in the SECCG, South Carolina has only the loss to Georgia by 1 and Auburn loses to South Carolina (their only loss)and Georgia during the regular season.

Still think Auburn should be the team to go?

Venues are going to play a major role in determining these things this year, so your scenario is an interesting one.

Based upon your scenario, SCAR would have lost at home by 1. Auburn would have lost at home and SCAR would have beaten them handedly.

SCAR and Auburn would go. UGA would have to stay home ... late losses hurt the most. Ironically, UGA having gone undefeated during the regular season helps SCAR's SOS and power rating despite the loss early in the season.
