If...
Ole Miss beats UGA
UGA beats Tennessee
Texas beats A&M
Alabama beats LSU
(and none of these are far-fetched)

You could end up with UGA, Tennessee, A&M, Alabama, LSU, and Ole Miss all being 6-2 (and that's assuming Missouri doesn't win out) :shocker

Does it benefit a 6-2 A&M or 6-2 LSU to not make the SECCG, considering both have OOC losses? Does the ESPiN/SEC playoff committee put a 9-4 LSU/A&M in over a 10-2 (or even 9-3) UGA, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, LSU/A&M?

The dream scenario for the Vols is going 7-1 and not making the championship game but I think a&m fucked that up. Honestly if the Vols are 7-1 and make the SECCG they should only play backups. It’s just not worth the risk of injury

:happyno

4D Chess Strategy:
You play all scout team. Who cares if they get suspended?
Sweep the leg (x2). You got a problem with that? :twisted:
Texas "just isn't the same" without their top 2 QBs (and anyone else who just happens to get injured)
Texas gets left out of playoff.
Texas finishes 2-10 in 2025.

:trolldance

Tennessee should join the ACC.

Bow out of all non-conference games or play all 3rd string.

Win conference with record of 9-4 and get a 1st round bye.

. :sadtroll That's the only team left I root for that's any good. :nancy

Looks Tennessee-UGA controls who plays in the SECCG.

If Tennessee wins, they are in...unless they lose to Vandy.
If UGA wins, Bama will likely get in as the highest-ranked team (assuming they don't lose to Chokelahoma or 'Barn).

I'm assuming Texas beats A&M, of course. If A&M and UGA both win... it could be a Texas / Texas A&M rematch. :crazy

Don’t bet on us winning out though. We should if we keep playing my like we have the last few weeks, but if you have the team that played Vandy and ut then we can choke it away.
