Texas and Georgia are locks.

Bama/LSU winner probably.

The rest of the Conference will knock each other out of contention.

Crazy talk. A 3-loss SEC team will definitely get in if they get it at the SEC Championship Game. I should know. With 9 conference games, it will matter, and the top of the SEC looks much stronger than the last 2 seasons. That's the big difference.

OOC head-to-head is swinging opinions about all the 2-loss nobodies as well.
The CFP committee is no longer enamored with the SEC.

The media is currently in a love affair with the B1G.

A 3 loss B1G team will go in over a 3 loss SEC team. They hate us. They always have, and now they have standing to screw us.

3 teams. That's it.

And yet BAMA got in with 3 losses.

Check the AP Top 25; you are sadly mistaken.

, ALABAMA just got in with 3 losses. The first and only team to do it with the new format. That means no B1G team has accomplished it. They don't hate us.

Yes, and getting absolutely blown off the field by a B1G team will make sure that does not happen again.

Bama pretty much guaranteed it will be a long time before a 3 loss SEC team gets in again.

Texas in no way is a lock with that schedule. Its brutal.

They have to beat OU and then they need to go 4-3 the rest of the way to have a chance. Not a given

OU neutral
Ole Miss
Miss St
Kentucky
at LSU
Florida
at A&M

You don't know football, and you're putting it on full display. You completely ignore BAMA's win in Norman. Brand still matters, and no brand is bigger than the Crimson Tide or the SEC.

This year will be different because:

quote:

Non-Conference Records vs. Power Four Conferences
SEC: 10–2
Big 12: 5–7
ACC: 6–9
Big Ten: 4–10


quote:

The SEC is 5-0 against the ACC, 3-1 against the Big 12 and 2-1 against the Big Ten. It's the only league with a winning record against the rest of the Power Four.


The committee cant ignore facts so lets see how the rest of the season plays out.

The SEC gets 4 teams minimum and may get 5 again.

Depends on what happens in other leagues.

Barring some catastrophe, Miami is going to be there for the ACC. Let's say they get 1 more.

Big 10 will get 3 in IMO: Ohio State, Indiana, winner of UCLA/Oregon.

I think the Big 12 gets 1: BYU.

Boise State is the likely G5 rep.

We know the SEC champ makes it. Let's say that's Georgia.

As things stand now, we could get as many as 5 IMO, and it's too early to tell which 5, although UGA and Texas are in pole position.

SEC needs the Big 10 to stand on 3 bids and for Texas Tech to flame out.

Well, that settles it. You were the national champions. Tennessee won the last time we played in Norman. Bastards cheated us out a NC trophy.

You entitled jackasses think that sniveling "we're Alabama" is going to get you into the playoffs? That crybaby, Bitch Saban, isn't there now to whine you into the playoffs.

Everyone said Bama did not deserve to be in the playoffs with your three losses. You proved it. Humiliated the entire conference with the worst playoff loss in history. Bama should not have sniffed the playoffs. That other team left the field telling you, "WE'RE INDIANA!"

Sit down and STFU. You're too stupid to be in this conversation.

"....but....but we're Alabama." What an idiot.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Bubba. No one's forgetting about State. But to make the playoffs it's going to take a lot more than a nice win over a middling B1G team and barely beating Missouri at home.
