Think we need two SEC teams in the playoffs for us to make a NY6

Bama is pissed at the thought of missing the playoffs and now a NY6 Bowl, all thanks to Auburn

The committee said we jumped Bama because of their weak arse schedule and our tough schedule, and then beating them head-to-head.

Should LSU beat Georgia in Atlanta this weekend, the Bulldogs would then snag the SEC’s Sugar Bowl bid, while Florida would then get slotted to the Orange Bowl. That would leave one at-large bid open for Auburn to potentially grab -- the Cotton Bowl against the top G5 champion -- and whether the Tigers can earn that berth will depend on how the rest of the weekend’s results shake out.

Most pivotal to Auburn’s New Year’s Six prospects will be the Big Ten title game between top-ranked Ohio State and eighth-ranked Wisconsin. Auburn would need Ohio State to defeat Wisconsin, and for that loss to be enough to drop a three-loss Badgers team below three-loss Auburn in the final rankings on Sunday. In that scenario, Ohio State would obviously make the four-team playoff field, while No. 10 Penn State would grab the Big Ten’s Rose Bowl bid. If Wisconsin stays ahead of Auburn, it would likely pick up the at-large Cotton Bowl bid, while Auburn would presumably fall to the Citrus Bowl or Outback Bowl. If Auburn is ranked ahead of Wisconsin in those final rankings, the Tigers would conceivably earn the Cotton Bowl’s at-large spot.

That’s if Georgia loses to LSU, placing the Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl and Florida in the Orange Bowl. If Georgia beats LSU and both make the playoff, that moves Florida to the Sugar Bowl, while the higher-ranked team out of Auburn and Wisconsin would take an Orange Bowl bid, as that game is contractually obligated to take an ACC team against the highest-ranked remaining SEC or Big Ten team, or Notre Dame.
