Why do you have A&M out with only 1 SEC loss but Auburn and State still in with theirs? Oh I get it, you automatically assume Alabama wins out but for each individual hypo. And that's what you call realistic? You have far too many teams for this to be realistic expectations.

Realistic would be:
West:
Alabama favored; LSU certainly in the hunt; Auburn on the fringe.
East:
Georgia favored; Kentucky in the hunt; Florida on the fringe.

I’ve said to people IRL. Mizzou’s not going to win a championship, but they’re gonna muck it up for someone who thinks they are.

How is A&M mathematically eliminated?

If A&M wins out and LSU beats Alabama but loses to A&M, all 3 teams are 7-1.

It's extremely unlikely that Bama loses 2, so I think we can confidently remove any team that has lost to Bama or 2 other SEC teams from the realistic expectations list in the West.

LSU and Bama would be ranked higher.

Ranking isn't part of the three team tie breaking procedure.

Imagine a scenario where Kentucky only loses to Georgia, Georgia loses to LSU, and LSU only loses to
Bama, who also beats Georgia in the sec championship game.

Bama goes to the playoffs obviously, and then you have Kentucky and LSU with one loss only, to teams that were highly ranked at the time even though neither got a chance to play in the sec championship game.

You're right. Did that change?
