re: Everyone who thinks 2 SEC teams have a shot at getting to the playoff is wrong

Book mark this thread and we will see

The only way I see 2 1 loss SEC teams even having a chance is if the ACC + B12 + B1G + PAC + Notre Dame have nothing but 2 loss teams between them.

Put down the SEC Kool Aid and put on the reading glasses worn by conference commissioners outside of the SEC.

Are you paying attention to college football this year?

The parity isn't just in the SEC, it's all over the country.

The Big 12 and Pac 12 haven't played half of their schedules yet, and already neither conference has an undefeated team. The Big 12 ALWAYS backloads its schedule to make up for the fact that they don't have a championship game. TCU is the only team that has a chance to emerge from that conference with only one loss, and they have to play West Virginia and Kansas State back-to-back weeks.

The Pac 12 needs Oregon to win out from here, and I actually think they will. I have them in the playoff.

Notre Dame is a very good team, but they still have road games with Arizona State and USC. It's way more likely than not that they lose another game.

That leaves the Big Ten. Michigan State/Ohio State winner is the only team with a shot. However, are you going to put that champion (from the worst Power 5 conference who did worse OOC than any other conference) over an 11-1 SEC team? What criteria would they have to back that? ONLY the fact that they were a conference champion. That wouldn't hold up over all of the other resume evidence. The committee isn't full of stupid people like most people like to believe.

The SEC has an advantage in that it still has 2 undefeated teams. One of them (Ole Miss), gets all of their tough remaining opponents at home. If there are 2 one-loss teams at the end of the season out of the SEC, they're both going to get in.
