Road to the SEC Championship

[Texas Jeff 1945]

Alright, after a few weeks in our new league, I know that:

"In the SEC, teams just lose more"

It's way too early to talk about this, but here's where things stand in the SEC after a chaos weekend:

Texas, Texas A&M, and LSU are all still undefeated in conference.  They each control their destiny.  Win and you're in.

Texas A&M has probably the easiest path.  They play Texas and LSU at home.  They have no remaining games agains the 1-loss bunch.   They have games against Miss St, S Carolina and Auburn who are collectively 1-7 in the SEC.  Should the Aggies beat LSU, there is a real chance that Texas and Texas A&M would play twice back to back.

LSU has to travel to Texas A&M and all of the rest of their games are agains the 1-loss bunch.  They have to face Alabama, Arkansas, and the Vanderbilt juggernaut.

If you don't know the Texas schedule then something is wrong with you.  Georgia is the featured attraction, but old foes loom large in OU, Arkansas, and the Aggies.  And of course, they must face the Vanderbilt juggernaut on the road.  Other than the Kentucky and Aggie games, Texas only faces teams in the current 1-loss bunch.

The road ahead features twists and turns and maybe some potholes, but we are all out of creampuffs.

Our fan base is full of blood belching vaginas.

Embarrassing aggy twice in a row would be kinda fun.  I think they lose before our game though.  

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

So, as it turns out, aggy has a much easier schedule than Texas does?

Exactly.

The prospect of playing agricultural at a neutral site in any championship/playoff scenario should make any Longhorn giggle.

When Alabama, Georgia, and Clemson were hanging out at #1, did a lot of their fans spend time handwringing over how hard it would be even to win their fucking conference?

[hookemATL 11737]

I appreciate you setting actual expectations for aggy, as they are sure to not meet them. Your post serves as an excellent hex🤘

Any of the other one loss teams will be higher ranked. Do not see a rematch w Aggie in the cards, unless they manage to beat us, and still think we get dropped to UGA TN and Bama’s benefit.

It would make me happier if they were sitting at home

[Patrick Bateman 3916]

1 loss bunch..... LOL.  Over half the conference has played 2 games or less.  

No one should really be worrying beyond Saturday and OU.  Beat OU.  Then you can start pearl clutching about the rest.

Possibly, but we get to play aggy.

[UTexasFight 9453]

One representative will have 0 or 1 loss (us)

the other will have 2.

(Bama, Tenn, UGA, A&M)

I think that’s your contenders.

LSU will manage to lose 3 of ole miss, arky, bama, vandy, ou (while beating A&M).

Ole Miss will lose 2 of LSU, ou, arky, georgia

Mizzou will lose 2 of bama, ou, arky

it don't make a shit.

just win. 🤘

This is just one rating system, so take it FWIW, but I like how he does his infographics.

[Doc Daneeka 6769]

Has Texas at 92% to beat OU, 66% to beat UGA, and 71% to beat A&M.

[Texas Jeff 1945]

Still way too early, but Texas, LSU and Texas A&M still control their own destiny.  Everyone else needs help.

Oklahoma, Florida and Ole Miss each picked up a 2nd SEC loss and are probably out of contention, without a lot of losses and some fortunate tiebreakers.

This week, LSU (at Arkansas) and Texas (vs Georgia) play 1-loss teams and try to remain perfect in league play.  Surely A&M can take down Miss St on the road?

[Nueces River Rat 5539]

I can see aggy having issues against LSU and South Carolina.   Too much is being made of them beating an overrated Mizzou team and translating into them beating most everyone left on their schedule before meeting up with us.   Way too much.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

aggy will lose to MSU on the road.  They probably lose 3 of their next 4.

[WBT 20572]

Outside of us, the sec seems very big 12-ish this year.  I wouldn't be that surprised by anyone beating anyone else.

If my model produced this, I would throw my computer in a lake of fire and give up writing models.

[F250 28777]

This thread is ass. Ban OP.

[randomhorn 1748]

Yup, whatever model produced that should be select all deleted

Yes, a purely resume based bracket is gonna be goofy, especially with most teams still barely into conference play.

Here’s the updated power rating to more fairly criticize:
