The only way the SEC gets 2 teams in the playoffs is if the loser of the Mich/OSU game gets blown out or it's a non-competitive game.

I think the committee will give the Big 10 the same benefit of the doubt that they gave the SEC last year. Bama was 11-1 but went to the SECCG and won, and UGA was undefeated going into the game but was #1 for most of the CFP rankings. The same can be said back in 2017, Bama did not play in the SEC title game but got in with UGA. Bama was beaten by an 11-1 Auburn who was beaten by an 11-1 UGA in the SEC title game. Our biggest wins come against teams with 2 losses and our remaining schedule does not have a top-20 team left. In other words, if Mich/OSU goes into their game undefeated and plays like they did last year where the winner won by less than 10, then the loser will get the same benefit of the doubt. Let's hope the Mich/OSU game is a blowout one way or the other. I think the 4th team will be either TCU or the PAC 12 winner with 0 or 1 loss. Also, we need TCU to slip up. Baylor did not look like a world-beater today. The playoff committee would like nothing more than to have teams representing 4 out of the 5 power conferences. It's all about the money. Take your emotions out of it. Do you think they will pick us over USC and risk losing the west coast or Texas/ Southwest viewership?

OSU (#3 Mich)
UGA (#7 LSU)
Mich (#2 OSU)
USC/TCU (USC would play #9 UCLA)

btw- I think TA&M will beat LSU- Jimbo will be playing for a lot.

Two more 60 burgers and there should be ZERO doubt.

A&M simply is too beat up to beat anyone, but will probably win next week vs UMass...

I agree some people are setting themselves up for disappointment. The committee really REALLY values conference champs. This is not BVS. UT wont get that chance due to playing UGA in the regular season.

Lots of football left to be played. Doesn’t matter for 3 more weeks. Let’s just get to 11 and 1 and see how it shakes out. Oregon goes down today and I have a feeling there are more upsets to come. Just happy to be in the debate for the first time in about 18 years.

No they don’t. It’s just another data point so if you have equal resumes then yes the conference champ gets in but if we are 11-1 and have a better resume then 12-1 say, TCU, then we’re getting in.

You are correct but I wouldn't give up hope just yet. Pac 10 is a crazy conference. TCU is very beatable. There is plenty of football left to play. Winning and Winning big are all the Tennessee fan base should focus on.

I’m with you. No P12 team will have less than 2 losses and TCU will lose. That’s why I think Clemson will slide back in but only if they run the table and that’s not a given.

Several ways we can get in.

TCU has two possible losses, at Baylor and the Big 12 CG.

A blowout win in the OSU-Michigan game.
Oregon beats the USC-UCLA winner in the PAC 12 CG.

Even if TCU wins out, we have a good shot at bring the best 1 loss team.

All i am trying to say is that if OSU and Mich. go into their game undefeated and the loser only has one loss and the winner wins the conference, then both will get in. The same argument could have been made for us had we been more competitive in the UGA game.

Committee really values conference championships?

How many times has the SEC gotten two teams in?

Edit: I looked it up….twice out of 8 years (25%)
