Am I the only person who does not want 2 SEC teams in playoffs?

Sure, if we lose to Bama, it would be nice to get another chance

But do we really want to face them again if we beat them?

I say no

2 SEC teams in looks more realistic now, but we STILL need teams to lose for it to happen

Like I said, I’d rather not see it

Nobody in America wants 2 SEC teams in the playoffs, other than the fans of the SECCG loser.

Yeah call me a bitch but there is no way I want a rematch of Bama if we win that game.

I only want it if we're the 2nd team.

I don't like that either. Also I don't see the powers that be letting us or them in to a limited field to possibly play twice when others are on the outside looking in.

The National Championship game will be the SECCG.

Exactly

SEC loser may get in; but I really don’t see the loser jumping enough teams unless we see a few more key upsets

I don't know, I still think the loser goes if both are undefeated going in.

Only Big 10 team that makes it over us/Bama is Wisconsin if they win out and win the Big 10 championship. Pac 12 and Big 12 are toast. ND and Miami play next week

Lot of football to be played.

Edit: Forgot about Oklahoma, they're in if they beat TCU this week

PAC and Big will trump SEC loser with committee

This weekend is an elimination game for the Irish

Miami still gets in with a loss if they win out after that

Yes, and rest assured the playoff committee is well aware of that fact.....

It will take 2 conference champions and ND each with 2 losses for a 2nd SEC team to get in the playoffs.

In a way I'd like to get a loss out of the way so the team can grow and learn like ND has seemingly done.

On the other hand, there is a good chance a one loss, non SEC champion will get the 3rd or 4th spot.

I'm worried about key injuries at this point more than anything.

I'm not so sure about that, kinda depends on who is 1/2 going in adn who wins. For instance if the team ranked 2nd loses, the committe damn sure isn't going to drop them to 4 just to see the 2 teams rematch in the very next game, so the options are either drop them just 1 spot to 3rd (above some conference champs) or drop them to 5th or worse.

I don't think its as big of a pull as the southeast will have.

You've gotta remember the entire country has SEC fatigue (mostly bama fatigue but SEC by association).

But a non-blue blood like the 3 mentioned simply don't have the cache to trump that fatigue.

Not if they face in the BIG 12CG and TCU turns around and beats them. Wouldn't they play for the BIG 12 Championship? I'm not sure how their conference CG is decided, and I don't see divisions.

I want UGA to be in the playoff, and I am not going to waste the rest of this season thinking about what could happen at the end of the season. This season has been just so much fun, enjoy it for what it is.
