College Football Playoff...

There are way too many variables right now to say that the SEC runner up gets in automatically. What if the runner up went in as the last at large, and then gets blown out?
I don't think anyone in the SEC is good enough to blow out another one of the quality SEC teams by a margin large enough to sway that.

The only one I can think of would be Texas over Tennessee and not even sure that matchup is possible.

The only SEC team with a clear path to the SECCG that I could see that would possibly get left out losing as the runner up is A&M. That is only because they got boat raced by South Carolina, South Carolina could lose to Clemson next week, and then A&M's best win is quickly fading with LSU struggling. Plus, if they beat Texas, the questions on Texas beating nobody would surface.

That's what makes college football so great. We think something like this, and then the unexplainable happens.

This playoff system is far from perfect. But the fact that we’re all complaining about it is evidence that it’s good for the sport.

Well...pretty soon you'll have a 12 team playoff with the SEC and BIG10 each sending 4 division winners and 2 wild cards into a bracket. We can talk about how that's good for the sport when it happens.

Gotta see how they handle Indiana/OSU loser next week in the rankings... especially if it's Indiana. That's a weak schedule and an L to the only team with a pulse.

I'm leaning more towards 5 SEC, 3 B1G, 1 ACC/Big 12/G5, and ND. Then you'll hear the SEC cry how they deserved 6 teams.

I would love to see a wrench get thrown into it all and see A&M lose to Texas, Tennessee lose to Vandy, Ole Miss lose to Florida, Alabama lose to Auburn, and Georgia lose to GT. Let Clemson beat USCw just for the fun of it.

I'd love to see the mental gymnastics to have anything other than only 1 SEC team with all of those at 3 losses and each having multiple 'bad' losses.

Even just 2 or 3 of those happening would be heaven on earth and watching them scramble to fudge the rankings.

I think it's a close one. SC getting too overhyped for playing with Bama and beating a mid A&M that just played a bad half of football.

I’ve watched USCe every week so I’m biased. They’ve got some beasts
