How many playoff teams does the SEC get?

Any 2 loss team plus SECCG 3 loss team.

I don’t think many 3 loss teams get in.

There are currently 27 teams with zero, one or two losses, I believe.

You have five automatic qualifiers with only one of those being from the SEC.

That only leaves seven total spots.


With the greater parity but also parody this year, I don’t think what happened last year will happen. I think the big 12 and the ACC will get two teams this year at least.

Notre Dame
Highest ranked other conf
Acc-2
Big 12 - 2
Big 10 - 3
SEC - 3

Conference championships outcomes will play a bigger role this year:

UGA still has Mizzou and SC. Alabama still has Auburn. You think those are gimmes?

No. Signed AU and every UGA fan.

Strong chance SECCG loser has 3 losses.

Strong chance a 2 loss team will be sitting at home once again in catbird seat while two teams battle.

While anything can happen re: Auburn .. I feel confidant the Dawgs get by Mizzou .. but going to WB stadium at night playing a hot gamecock team .. that will be a real fight going into the 4th qtr.

This is starting to clear up with the ND win. I think Wake Forest is the biggest wild card in this right now and I’ll expand on that later.

1. ND
2. Go6
3. Big 12 - I actually think just 1, but it could be 2. I think Tech would need to win the league over an undefeated Utah to get 2. I think Tech has been unconvincing enough that even a second loss to Utah in Big 12 title game would knock them out - though they still have some decent games left to play as well. I think BYU is moving out of the picture.
ACC - I am going to go with 2 to kind of hedge the 1 from the Big 12 - so guessing 3 from the two leagues together in that sense. I think if Wake Forest looks good down the stretch and only has a second loss to Miami in the championship game they could get in.

I think we have 7 left for the Big Ten and SEC. There is a very real chance the Big Ten only gets two in - UCLA and Indiana. But nobody is a lock yet. USC and Iowa still have a shot - 2 loss Iowa would be interesting, Indiana beating USC would knock them out but USC running the table with wins against Indiana and UCLA would def get them in. I’m going 2.5 from the Big Ten which leaves 4.5 for the SEC. I’d lean towards 5 because I think there is a better chance the Big 10 only gets 2 (would they actually give them only 2??) and then a chance the other two leagues only get one each. Greater chance of 5, I don’t see less than 4 unless a lot of unfavorable stuff happens.

Georgia looks very safe.
Alabama not too far behind them but they are on two losses so more precarious.

Texas leads the next grouping with Tennessee right behind them.

Pecking order beyond that:

Kentucky

LSU/Ole Miss/USCe/Mizzou

Sorry if I missed a team.

Excluding a Big Ten title game loss the only league with a chance to land 3 loss teams is the SEC. And I believe there is a much greater chance that happens than it doesn’t happen. Texas is best positioned to drop one of the last 3 and still get in with Tennessee much the same. LSU could beat both claim head to heads in both and have an argument.

Not going to dive into the other teams.
Kentucky obviously can’t take a third loss at all.

Did you even see the playoff rankings?

Unfortunately for you, UT is about to be in the same pod as you, making the first tiebreaker between UT and UA to be head to head.

So you'll lose that little gift and promptly fall behind UT. Oh wait, did you think they thought you were better than UT? After UT spanked and embarrassed you?

nope lol 4

Bama is a lock as long as they win out.

Alabama isn't losing to au, like you stated, nobody cares where ut is ranked

Focus.

First guy said "Alabama’s out after they lose to Auburn"

Second guy said "Did you even see the playoff rankings?"

So your scenario, that Bama is a lock as long as they win out, wasn't even being discussed.

Maybe just go back to sleep.
