How often do you expect your team to make the playoff?

This is what I would assume, but I could be high or low on expectations from most of you obviously.

Georgia- Every year.

Alabama- Every year.

LSU- three out of four years.

Texas- three out of four years.

Oklahoma- three out of four years.

Tennessee- Two out of four years.

Auburn- two out of four years.

Texas A&M- two out of four years.

Florida- (this is once they get decent again, whenever that is) two out of four years.

Ole Miss- two out of five years.

Mizzou- two out of five years.

S. Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas- one in four

MSU- one in five

Vandy- bowl eligibility is good enough.

Is 2 out of 4, the same as 1 out of 2?

I’d guess we’d make the playoffs occasionally. We seem to have a great team about 1 in 7 years or so.

I’ll say 1 in 5-10 years.

I will be surprised if any conf gets more than 3 in the first 2 years. Thats how long the current agreement remains. The AQs may change after that.

I do expect UGA to be in that 3 for the foreseeable future.

Bama, LSU, Texas are in a group of at least 1 of them will make it every year

OU, Auburn, UT, Ole Miss are in that group of at least 1 of them will make it 3/5 years

I would put Mizz in that group, I want to believe; I just don’t know that I do.

Texas AM and UF should be in that group; but they gotta do something.

UK, USC, MSU, Ark.. let’s say 1/10 years 1 of them goes on a run.

Vandy.. let’s just get the stadium open first and go from there.

This can mean two things:

Expect as in these are the goals I reasonably expect our team should be able to make under normal circumstances?

Or

Expect as in I’ve accepted reality and these are the results I actually expect our team will reach?

At least for Arkansas, these two definitions lead to two different expectations!

Anyone who expects their team to be in every year is asking too much. It will take 2 or fewer losses in a very rough SEC schedule

I would move Ole Miss up to 3 of 5 and Alabama down to 3 of 5.

Yes. I could've used 3 of 6, 4 of 8, 5 of 10 as well. Well done, sir.

Maybe in the top 10 as watered down as the Big 12 is currently.

You wouldn't have been in the top 12 for the playoff either of the last two years. Just sayin'.

Final CFP ranking 2022- 17
2023- 13

It's unreasonable to expect any team to make the playoffs every year.

Now that it’s 12 every other year. LSU has too much in place to not slide in. Our insane schedule worries me next season though.

Yea, one thing I know is that SEC fans are reasonable.

Alabama would've made every year from 2011 to now.

Georgia likely 2017-now. Pretty strong track record to say not making it is a huge exception. Not saying someone would get fired, but it would be a huge, huge disappointment at this time for those two schools.

Arkansas can't even make a bowl game every year.
