Depends on what Bama does. There's no way they put three SEC teams in.

They might if it is a close game and you guys beat Bama again in the SECCG. No way to tell that this early in the season.
The nightmare scenario for them (selection committee) is for Georgia to beat Tennessee, and Bama beat Georgia in the SECCG.
Three 1 loss SEC teams who each have a loss and win vs each other. (Of course that is if none of them lose another game)

The only shot, and that’s a long shot, of the loser of that game getting in is if the winner of that game wins the SEC championship game. That would mean that all teams in the west have 2 or more losses leaving the west completely out. The playoff committee loves the SEC but a lot would have to go wrong for other conferences for the loser to get in.

Seems a bit silly to guess at this until you see how other conference shake out.

Depends on how close the game is and how other teams finish out the year. Honestly, the loser might have a better shot since they wouldn't have to play Bama in the SECCG.

Think about this for a second.
The only team you have played (at home) was 1 play away from losing to the team that lost to App State.
Food for thought.

quote:definitely think UGA has less of a chance than tennessee if they lose.
Georgia definitely can
I think UGA would need some things to happen to sneak back in. a 1 loss-pac 12 champ, undefeated big 12 champ, undefeated ACC champ, 1 loss big 10 champ, is getting in before a 1 loss non-SEC champ I think

I don't see it for Georgia. Only one quality win against Oregon the first week of the season. The SOS and quality wins aren't there without beating TN. Tennessee would likely need Georgia to beat Bama in the SEC title game if they lose.

If Tennessee loses they need Georgia to beat Alabama.

Definitely can. As long as the game is tight. If Tenn were to lose by 14+ then probably not.
UGA will still be in SECCG and the winner of that game is going to playoffs. Providing Bama get there with only 1 loss.

FiveThirtyEight has a calculator
Chances to make playoff prior to Saturday's game:
UGA 61%, VOLS 48%
If UGA wins:
UGA 77%, VOLS 34%
If VOLS win:
UGA 30%, VOLS 76%
Per this model, VOLS have 4% better chance to make playoffs with a loss this weekend than UGA, but still only a 1/3 chance.

Depends. Lots of factors to consider. Winner of Big 10 is in (tOSU or Michigan). Clemson wins out, they are in. I find it hard to believe that they would leave TCU out if they win out. That really leaves one spot for the SEC champ. This Saturday could be seismic for the playoffs.
The interesting scenario comes if LSU somehow pulls the upset against Bama and through some serious miracles, manages to win the SECCG. Would the committee put a 2 loss SEC champ in over a 1-loss Pac-12 champ?

UGA will be out of it if they lose.
Tennessee will still have a chance to back in if they lose.

If UGA beats UT, Bama wins out and beats UGA in the SECCG then Bama and UGA are in. If Bama loses another game but beats UGA in the SECCG, UT and UGA are in regardless of Bama winning the SEC. They committee isn't putting a two loss team in if there are other options no matter how many conference titles you win.

Why does UT or UGA get the nod over an undefeated TCU (who has beat 4 ranked teams in a row)?
Not saying that this couldn't happen, just generally curious.

what makes you think this is so definitive when you don't have a clue of the record of the other P5 conference champions?
