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.

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

Exactly.

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

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.

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

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?

How much do you like K-Ford's "most deserving" CFB Playoff Bracket?

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:

Whoah, the link went dead but it looked like if Alabama loses tonight, then no matter what else happens, we'd see A&M in the SEC CG?

Um. No. 

Aggy is obviously not in if they go L, L here down the stretch.

What I'm curious about is is Texas automatically in with an aggy and Bama loss tonight?

I haven't found a scenario yet where Georgia is in the game (if we win out) but the stupid tool is crashing, so I can't verify my semi-drunk clicks.

Came back up a minute

We play Georgia in this scenario

If Texas wins who do we play?

If we lose next weekend do we still make it?

Both teams would be 2 losses in conference so they'd go on head to head I'd imagine. Unless there's some other tie breakers involving Tennessee who would also be 2 losses if they finish out next week with a win over Vanderbilt. 

That said, there's nothing that team has for us. We show up to play and we win. We own both lines and have superior DBs, LBs, and skill guys. It all comes down to Quinn and Sark.

If Tennessee beats Vandy, they will be 6-2, same as Georgia. If we lose we will also be 6-2, same as aggy. I don't know enough about tiebreakers to carry this any further than that.

But we aren't going to lose and I'm happy playing Georgia three times this year.
