Quality losses

None of those 3 teams should make the playoffs, unless all **** breaks loose next week (knock on wood)…

Also hoping Clemson destroys SC East next week (assuming Miami wins)….
 
Thats v interesting because if they get left out USCe should get left out since they lost to Bama and Ole Miss... So then Tenn, UGA, Texas make it from SEC? If Texas loses to A&M throw the whole SEC away.

Ohio St, Penn St, Oregon from Big 10

Boise St, Tulane

Notre Dame gets in w/ no conference championship

Big 12 champ

And ACC champion + loser if only 2 losses

Given that Ole Miss, aTm, and Alabama all lost to $EC teams, how much will those quality losses propel them in the polls?

Lets take a look at who exactly they've lost to:

Alabama 8-3 (4-3)
  • Vandy 6-5 (3-4
  • Tennessee 9-2 (5-2)
  • Oklahoma 6-5( 2-5)
Ole Miss 8-3 (4-3)
  • Florida 6-5 (4-4)
  • LSU 7-4 (4-3)
  • Kentucky 4-7 (1-7)
Texas A&M
  • Notre Dame 10-1
  • SCAR 8-3 (5-3)
  • Auburn 5-6 (2-5)
A&M has legitimately "good losses" to ND and SCAR. The Auburn loss is a bad one, but it was a 4OT game to the wire. Alabama has two bad losses in Vandy and Oklahoma, especially with OU. They got spanked. Ole Miss has the worst of the bunch, with losses to straight up mid to terrible SEC teams.

As long as A&M keeps it very close with Texas I think they're the 9-3 SEC team that ends up getting in, on account of losing (in this scenario) to two Top 10 teams in close games. Will also help them if SCAR beats Clemson. I don't see any scenario where Ole Miss or Bama get in.

A&M would be 8-4 if they lose to Texas.

In a scenario where Clemson beats SCAR, we win out, and SMU losses close, the ACC could get 3 teams in. Still don’t think it’ll happen like that but the way I look at it (not in order of seeding or rank I’m just numbering the teams)

1. Oregon
2. OSU
3. Indiana
4. Penn State
5. Miami
6. G5 Champ
7. UGA
8. Texas
9. Tennesse
10. B12 Champ
11. ????
12. ????

SCAR wins and they’re in. A&M wins and they’re in. But if they both lose, Clemson and SMU may get those last two spots. Only 9-3 SEC left with an argument would be Bama, and they have two horrible losses on their schedule.

While I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying, I think you’re missing the point I was making - it’s awfully silly to classify losses as some sort of way to outrank teams with fewer losses simply as a narrative the $EC pushes to justify their greed.

Quality losses?

We can't even get quality wins because they steadfast refuse to rank Duke, Louisville and Syracuse (if we win that).

Ah good catch. In that case they’d be out. SCAR would be next up then if they beat Clemson. They genuinely have only “good losses.” Even LSU isn’t that bad of one.

By “good losses” you mean they have lost to every good team they’ve played. They’re the Indiana of the SEC
