what is Indiana's SOS now?

[Knoxtnhorn 6066]

Who the hell goes to the SEC Championship game if aggy loses and Bama wins tonight?  That'd leave GA, TX, aggy, Bama, and TN with 2 losses.

/if we slip up next week with a hobbled QB.

The Hoosiers will climb in the computer rankings while Penn St drops.

 

Same logic, ND could drop after winning by 7.

 

Edit: that would be an expected to read joke  on Surly; SEC contract requires Texas and A&M to pool records.

Sorry.  Added an edit.  I think we're a much better team than aggy but night game and hobbled QB makes me pause.

Bama/GA based on conf opp winning %

[Lou_Sassle 2891]

If aggy hangs on to lose tonight, then I think we're in the playoff no matter what happens next weekend. Even if we "shudder" lost to aggy, we'd still be in with 2 losses after aggy and Ole Miss picked up loss number 3 today. 

[tx 3 putt 77491]

win out and get that first round bye

Yep.  That'd leave 4 teams with 2, or fewer, losses.  Plus, the SEC Championship game loser would have 3.  I'm not sure how the committee feels about punishing a team making the championship game and losing, but it'd be TX, TN, and the winner with 2 losses; everyone else with 3+.

Sankey has already been politicking that champ game losers shouldn't be punished.

[Huckleberry 33108]

This playoff is going to be wild. There are no teams without major warts. This year's national champion is going to be the team that gets hot in December and January.

Cool.  Again, if TX slips up, then the two SEC Championship game players plus TN and TX.  Almost everything I've seen nationally has the SEC with 4 teams.

SEC could play their way down to 3. Bama, Tenn, and Georgia could all lose again

Uhhh . . .

[alincoln 2385]

The media is starting to talk about how awful the big 10 is outside of the top 4.  The lack of a single win by the rest of the conference against the top 4 is such an indictment of the lack of depth as opposed to an affirmation of the quality of the top.

Yeah the espn machine is pushing for its own self interests and we know how that works out for the SEC. 
 

the other networks are trying to push back.

Well if A&M loses and OU wins, I think it’s double for sure. 

[Zeus 6161]

Florida beat LSU and Ole Miss

Kentucky beat Ole Miss

Arkansas beat Tennessee 

Vandy (and maybe OU) beat Alabama

 

 

 

What do all these teams have in common??????????????

Heal up Quinn!

or let’s get Arch going!

cuz this defense ain’t going anywhere we are gonna dominate there

[markstanco 12627]

So if bama loses does 4th place Tennessee control destiny? I never even imagined Alabama losing this game.

[runthebone 8047]

All I know is that people in the media keep saying Texas looks shitty, but it's other teams that keep losing.

[Chuckie Finster 22750]

You can point to the lack of great wins, but we are the only SEC team without a bad loss. At some point, “taking care of business” has to matter.

Yeah for us not playing anyone, teams we beat sure keep beating the other "contenders"

[ruitxn 298]

If Bama loses…looks like Texas is in the playoffs win or lose next week. Four two loss SEC teams should be in.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3038]

Bama and Ole Miss better be out of the fucking playoff. At some point, bad losses have to matter. Bama is almost .500 in conference. Georgia’s 2 losses to them look even worse now.

Texas ain’t played no one. 
 

Tennessee and Bama and LSU?  They all played teams. 

[cmontexas 3283]

If Aggy holds on expect some serious BS officiating next week to guarantee the SEC has a 4th 2 loss team for the playoff

Well I almost called them all for today

[CO Horn 167]

Oregon - 1 (Bye)

Ohio St - 2

Texas - 3 (Bye)

Notre Dame - 4

Georgia - 5

Penn State - 6

Miami - 7 (Bye)

SMU - 8

Tennessee -9

Clemson - 10

Boise St - 11 (Bye)

Iowa St - 12

[Js1 85592]

Cannot wait for all the bitching on Tuesday night again when Texas still doesn’t have a loss to an SEC cellar dweller like Bama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Aggy and Tenn do

Might as well point out here I expect at least 1 of aggy vs Auburn, Ole Miss vs Florida, and Tenn vs Vandy will lose

Two down, one to go.

I did not foresee the Milroe bed shitting though.

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20501]

What a great day of college football. Four of the top 16 teams lost to unranked opponents, and Indiana lost, too.

Nor I. Against a defense that Quinn Ewers walked all over.

[Valmy77 13273]

If Texas loses to A&M, what are the chances Texas makes the CFP? Basically 100% right?

So I think the chaos of this weekend pretty much wrapped up a berth for us. Obviously it would be cooler to win the SEC.

now we lose and get the 5th seed.  aggy heads will explode

it would be hilarious to get the 5 seed, play one fewer game than the 1 and 2 SEC teams and heal up to play Boise/BYU/ASU/SMU

5 seed probably goes to Oregon if they lose the B1G CCG or ND if Oregon beats Ohio State. Probably

Dude if they beat us they will print T Shirts and fill jizz jars all through East Texas. They won't care about us getting in the CFP.
