However, the fact that they still have Alabama at 8, while Georgia is 1 leads me to believe it could happen.
Again, based on what metric are you believing that somehow UGA would go over Bama if they lose head to head?
Top 25 wins? Bama
SOS? Bama
H2H? Bama
Conf Champ? Bama
Overall record? Tied
Is there a chaos scenario in which both could go? Sure if FSU and Texas both lose.
Is UGA one of the four best teams? Probably.
They don’t take the four best teams as we learned last year when they sent a trash TCU team to the playoffs.
The reality is Bama likely won’t even make the playoffs without a FSU or Texas loss, but there is absolutely no scenario in which UGA would still make the playoffs with a loss unless Bama is in ahead of them.

That trash TCU beat Michigan (one of the other playoff teams). Presumably both of them were trash teams in your estimation?

Why? If the #1 team, who happens to be the two time defending champ loses to the #8 team, how far do you think they should drop? How far has the #1 team typically dropped in the past when losing to a top 10 team? And why is it a foregone conclusion that the team who beat said #1 team now moves ahead of them?

It just takes Bama beating Georgia + chalk holding. They’ll take the three unbeaten conference champs, and then I don’t care what people say, they can’t square the circle of taking Georgia before Bama or Bama before Texas.
SEC needs a Georgia win or shenanigans with Louisville or Oklahoma State IMO.

The SEC champion should be in. Period
Crazy how things have shifted because the last year of the Pac12, the champ is in period.

The committee’s job is to choose the BEST four teams, not the most DESERVING.
FSU doesn’t belong even if they beat Louisville. Kentucky scrubbed the luster off that potential win. You could have made a decent argument before Travis’ injury that they shouldn’t be in. Now? No one thinks they are a top 4 team.
A 13-0 FSU will get in, but it would make the committee’s job much easier if there’s chaos this weekend to just take them off the board.

Beating the #1 team isn't guaranteed to jump ahead of a lesser team that has 2 or more losses. You see what I did here? Not always the case when you have an unranked team upset the #1 team. That has happened before.
Like last year LSU had 3 losses if LSU had beaten UGA in the SEC championship game LSU would still not be able to leapfrog over UGA in the final ranking.

Listening to the talking heads, that seems to be the only option.
I get that a certain outcome gives them the most to talk about, but geeze, there's been more time spent on what's gonna happen if UGA loses than actual breakdown of the game itself. I'm assuming we're still gonna play it, right?

It’s body of work and earning your way in. Should Bama beat UGA, UGA will have one loss to a conference champ on a neutral field. Baba will have one loss at home to a conference champ )probably) and a bad win over Auburn. UGA still gets in.
Posted on 11/29/23 at 5:28 am to tide06
First of all, if it was Bama at #1 right now and they lost to Georgia they would be left out??? Are you serious??? When has that EVER HAPPENED??? So why can’t Georgia say it??

This smacks of “eye test” mentality. The worst problem in modern sports. Reads “the team I like”, no matter what they do on the field(lose at home) (2011).

You’re more delusional than the Bama fans that think they’ll get in over Texas because “we’re SEC!”

FSU is not one of the 4 best teams in the country without starting QB.

They can't and won't do that because they have been preaching that H2H matters above all else. That has been their reasoning saying Texas blocking Alabama, our loss to them. Nothing else matters except that H2H loss.
I'm not saying it is right, just saying that is what the committee has been doing all year.

Bama almost lost to USF and took a Hail Mary to beat a bad Auburn team. Those things are going to matter and ultimately keep Bama out regardless of what happpens.
Georgia barely beat the very same Auburn and held on to beat a subpar Georgia Twch team
Point being, every win ain't gonna be easy. A win is a win and that's all that should matter for any team
So if Bama beats UGA and gets left out due to the Texas loss, it is what it is.
quote:
Bama beats UGA. UGA drops to 5, Michigan to 1. Washington beats Oregon and goes to 2. FSU beats Louisville goes to 3. Texas wins and goes to 4 while tOSU remains at 6. Bama to 7.
Bama beats the number one team in the country and only jumps one spot?
Not gonna happen. At worst Bama would be 5 in this scenario
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. FSU
4. Texas
5. Bama
6. UGA
7. Ohio State
8. Oregon

If those things matter, a loss to Bama would be devastating to their chances of staying in, right?

A 1-loss SEC Champ isn't getting left out of the playoffs. Stop with the idiocy.
We'll see. If the final spot comes down to 12-1 Texas vs 12-1 Bama.

TX is the big issue for Bama. And ultimately couod leave both teams out if Bama wins and the rest of the teams win out. The committee can’t and won’t overlook that loss to Bama. If anyone should get the boot it’s FSU regardless if they win. They aren’t barely as formidable w/o Travis.

You don't get in with a mulligan just because you win the last game over us.
Alabama would get in because they are 12-1 and a conference champion you fool.
But neither are getting in if Alabama wins and no other upsets happen.
