TCU will not be ahead of us. Strength of schedule is a huge dynamic factor with the rankings

I bet they are

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

I remember a long time ago where we used to root for other teams to lose, so we can jump in the polls. It is that time again! It’s fun to be honest. We are now a part of the college football mix. Heck yea!!!

 

[SweetasSoda]

As much as I hate bama I want them to win out. I don’t want any excuse to down play the win we had over them. Bama and LSU win out (except SECCgame) and we have 2 top 10 wins going into the playoff selection

Hope Saban takes out his frustration on Kiffin.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I’m sorry to say…….. but we kinda need bama to win next week. In theory, if ole miss wins out, they are in the CFP

Puh leeessss....... OM aint gonna have a dang than for UGA, but LSU would have to lose again for them to make Atlanta. OM aint getting in.

Biggest thing that can happen is TCU losing, IMO. Let’s say OSU beats Michigan, TCU drops a game, Oregon or USC wins PAC12 with 1 loss, and Clemson wins ACC with 1 loss. We would be left with this scenario:

1 UGA
2 OSU

After that, you would have five 1 loss teams going for the last two spots: UT, Michigan, TCU, Oregon/USC, and Clemson. Our resume is miles better than all 4 of them. We have more ranked wins. We would have 2 top 10 wins. We are former #1 ranking.

TCU holds the keys to this scenario. They win out, it’s down to 1 spot left.. and at that point my opinion is it should still be us getting the 4 spot, but I don’t put it last the committee to find a way to keep a 2nd SEC team out. If TCU loses one, and we win out: I think we are in at #3. JMO.

 

[VFL1993]

I don't see it happening, but doesn't a two loss LSU winning the sec setup the nightmare scenario.

LSU would get in the playoffs by winning the SEC, right? GA with one loss might get in. No way they put a 3rd SEC team in the playoffs.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I don’t think the committee likes teams with 2 losses and we still have the convincing head to head win. Plus beating AL in overtime won’t be seen as good of a win compared to us beating AL in regulation.

No idea what the purpose is here, but gave you a like because you are a like giving machine.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

I would say:
1.) GA
2.) Mich
3.) OSU
4.) TCU
5.) TENNESSEE
6.) Oregon
7.) LSU
gotta have Oregon above to keep that narrative going…

 

[SweetasSoda]

I think Oregon as a 1 loss conference champion would get in above us.

I don't think a 1 loss Big 12 champion or 1 loss ACC champion gets in over us.

How? They lost by way more to GA than we did then will have beaten no one.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Notre Dame plays USC in a few weeks, they could do us another favor. Oregon has a much tougher road.

 

[Ashevolle]

I bet they are

They should be. No way they end up with the final spot in the CFB over us if we win out though unless they do so convincingly. ESPN wants that Tenn v Georgia rematch storyline if they can help it.

 

[Orange Studs]

It doesn't really matter if they do or not right now anyway. They would have to beat GA in the SEC championship to get in the playoffs, and if they beat GA in the SEC championship they would be in the playoffs over us anyway.

If GA does play LSU and plays like they did tonight, not sure LSU can beat them.

Nightmarish

 

[Smokey123]

I’m more confident we go to the playoffs now than I was yesterday. What a wild day of Football

 

[SpringBokVol]

I am not worried about TCU.

UGA is in.
Winner of OSU and Michigan is in.
TCU is in.

Then it’s either 1 loss Tennessee or 1 loss loser of Michigan OSU.

That will be the key. Will the committee put Tennessee ahead of the loser of that game?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Ole Miss ain’t gonna win out

Even if they win out, they’d be 11-1 not playing in the SEC Championship. They lost to LSU, we beat them. That gets us over them

 

[Deathandtaxes]

These cowbells are annoying…. Will Ferrell SIT DOWN!!!!

Important to win and win BIG the next three weeks

They should. Tennessee was ahead of them when all 3 were unbeaten.

You shouldn’t count out a potential one loss PAC 12 winner.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

How? They lost by way more to GA than we did then will have beaten no one.

Because the 3 Pac-12 teams they still have to play and beat will potentially all 3 be top 25 teams when they face off. Then they'll get another top 25 win in their conference title game.

Ending with as many top 25 wins as us (or close) and they'll be their conference champ. Plus losing to the best team in game 1 and then winning 12 straight and your conference will be better received than us losing in game 9 and not playing in conference title game.

We need TCU to lose (hopefully twice) and we need the PAC-12 champion to be a 2 loss team.
