You joke but that brings up an interesting point. In 2017 it's almost a lock that AU would have gone with 2 losses had they won the SECCG. They would have ended the season with wins over top 2 UGA, top 2 bama, then top 5 UGA in the SECCG. So it's certainly not out of the equation to make the playoffs with 2 losses, but you'd need to hope 1)Your losses were relatively early, 2)you have some elite wins 3)Everyone else has losses to and not a bunch of undefeateds out there
