People will learn what I mean when I kept telling them there was limited success as they keep wanting to add more and more good teams.
Now schools that don't belong are going to get spots that would have otherwise went to better teams.

TX will get left out for sure if they lose a game an get stuck in the 2 loss "beauty contest" with the rest of us. SOS and good wins will have them outside of the top 12 for sure...especially if they lose to Aggies...they will officially have only beaten average to below average teams
I don’t think you’re wrong by merit but they’re a media darling that’s been in the top 5 pretty much all season. I could see them sneaking in by being media darling alone

Aint no way a 2 loss team is getting in the playoffs if their best win is one of Vandy or Michigan
TAMU would be out with 3 losses for sure. Best win of beating our arse this year wouldn't move the needle that much

The SOS will be figured in at the end of the season. Time we played Georgia and Vanderbilt SOS will go up.

Loser of A&M-Texas is out IMO.
UGA is out with a loss obviously.
Bama is out with a loss even if it’s in the SECCG IMO which will lead to rule changes if it occurs.
Tennessee is in trouble with a loss IMO.
Lot of football left to be played I wouldn’t worry about it yet.

Georgia is most likely out win or lose against UT, definitely out with a loss. Every tie breaker for 2 loss teams favors someone else. 4 SEC teams is a STRETCH given ND is in, a group of 5 team is in, 4 conference champions is in and at least 2 conference championship game losers are in. At least 2 teams who did not make the CCG are in leaving 2 "open" spots.
UGA is FAR from elite but as good as anyone outside of the top 4-6 or so teams in the nation...which means bupkus this year just like it always has. It means playing a first-round game somewhere, which is the same as a 6-6 team going to a bowl game in Shreveport, and IF you win that game playing in another one where you most likely succumb to a lack of talented depth relative to your opponent. While it makes for good conversation the fact remains that the team with the most talented depth is most likely going to win it all and it is pretty apparent who those teams are now....

And same with Texas - out with another loss? Are we sure about this one
They may not be but the problem Texas will have is the two losses they have would be to the only two good teams they have played. This is when your SOS may bite you due to other teams with same record having played a harder SOS and having actually beaten a top 25 or better team.

All comes down to depth.
Indiana is out of offensive linemen due to injuries (look at their depth chart - backup OL are now true freshmen). They wont survive several games in the playoffs. They are starting a guy at LG who is listed as a TE against OSU lol
Throw in BYU, Miami, PSU, Boise St who all do not have the depth to play and win several top tier games in a row.
Whole shite is a joke. On one hand they should get their shot, but not at the expense of teams who are also deserving and have the means to actually do it.
Portal is going to make it hard for anybody to have the depth to last IMO. Instead of there being dominant teams, its going to be who had the luckiest breaks on injuries... Playing 16 to 17 fricking games now if you make a natty run

If the committee looks at full resume they would have to put GA over Ole Miss with a win over TN because they would have Clemson, TX and TN wins and their 2 losses would be better also. If they don't they are counting head to head a lot more than they used to.
Also would they put the PAC 12 champ over a 2 loss Boise State even though Boise States first loss was a close game to Oregon.

The Big 12 likely gets 2 in if BYU loses as an undefeated team going in which could give the SEC only 3 spots possibly.

If we are both 10-2 we have 4 common opponents.
Arkansas:
37 point discrepancy favoring Ole Miss
UGA:
18 point discrepancy + whatever Tennessee loses by.
Kentucky:
13 point discrepancy favoring Tennessee
Florida:
6 point discrepancy - whatever ole miss beats Florida by.
4 common opponents and ole miss wins 3 out of the 4 matchups.
You left out OU.
Final scores were similar but we played a much healthier Sooner team at their place and had control the entire game. We never trailed, while the Rebs had to come from behind in the 2nd half at home to beat a mash unit missing their top 5 receivers.
Its all subjective, and likely the decision will be influenced more by the networks as to who will draw the most eyballs during the playoffs.

Lose to Georgia and you’d need chaos to have a shot.

If we loose to UT we don’t belong in the conversation and would only embarrass ourselves in the playoff.

There will be outliers but the natty game has already been one that heavily favored the deepest team....its now going to be a matter of who has 20 or so players who are still standing....and it will, I am convinced, wind up with many players opting out during the last few weeks of the regular season like many have done for bowl season.
UGA is a prime example of this. Lose to UT Saturday and a "meaningless" bowl game is all they are playing for with UMass and Georgia Tech left on the schedule. Even the Tech game, with its "Clean Old Fashioned Hate" moniker is anything but....regardless of the winner players from both teams will meet at midfield after the game and reminisce about old times back home....there isn't a lot of hate involved. It would not be at all surprising to see some of the few NFL prospects on this team opt out of either game....if it doesn't happen this year and with UGA it is going to start happening regularly.

Not sure Vandy matters much. As fun as their early season success was, they likely lose to LSU and Tennessee and finish 6-6. Better than "normal" vandy, but not a schedule padder.

It's pretty simple. The two out will be Georgia and the loser of the Texas AM and Texas game.
