ESPN's Paul Finebaum and Heather Dinich were on "Get Up" Wednesday morning and discussed the initial College Football Playoff rankings that came out Tuesday night.

The SEC landed six teams in the Top 12, and Finebaum and Dinich questioned whether the conference could get five teams in the playoff. Per On3:
quote:

“I think they have a legitimate shot at five,” Finebaum said. “Heather alluded to it, because think about Texas and Oklahoma. Now, Texas beat Oklahoma, but if Texas were to win at Georgia next week, and then they have Texas A&M later, they could beat two top-five teams.

“Now, Oklahoma has another opportunity. They have Missouri later in the year, but they also have a game at Alabama next week. They could grab a major win. I think one of those two have a legitimate shot at getting in, especially since they play each other the final week of the season.”
Here's the Top 12:
1. Ohio State (8-0)
2. Indiana (9-0)
3. Texas A&M (8-0)
4. Alabama (7-1)
5. Georgia (7-1)
6. Ole Miss (8-1)
7. BYU (8-0)
8. Texas Tech (8-1)
9. Oregon (7-1)
10. Notre Dame (6-2)
11. Texas (7-2)
12. Oklahoma (7-2)

there is going to be two automatic qualifers that are not in the top 12, so any SEC team is going to have to be in the top 10. The top 4 are going but the rest have to play each other. The math just isn't working out any arguments about deserving aside.
