The building narrative…

We should get in over 3 loss SEC teams

It depends on who they beat. You have to look at both sides of the coin. Miami hasn't beaten a ranked team all year and only 4 of the teams they beat have winning records (and that includes 7-5 FAMU). You can only play the schedule you have, but that's why it's critical to take care of business when you control your fate. Don't leave it in the hands of others.

Honestly I think the more interesting scenario is if UGA smacks Texas again. Texas would have two beat downs on their resume and their best win is 8-4 TAMU. They had maybe the easiest schedule in the SEC.

13-0 Oregon as 1 seed
11-2 UGA as 2 seed
12-1 SMU as 3 seed
Boise State or Arizona State at 4 seed
5 ND
6 OSU
7 Texas
8 Tennessee
9 Indiana
10 psu
11 Miami
12 asu or Boise st

Nah. This isn’t a playoff caliber team. Who cares that the other options lost to worse teams than we did and have an additional loss. I’ve only watched Miami this year and I can tell you with certainty we aren’t a playoff caliber team, we look nothing like 2001 which is the only barometer.

Tomorrow determines where we stand (and then we wait on Clemson-SMU) but ultimately narrative is interesting - lots of folks thinking Miami should be in and the more I think about it it really makes sense lol

Think Ole Miss is eliminated based on loss to 4-8 UK and 7-5 UF, even though they won H2H with USCe

That leaves Bama and USCe.

Alabama has horrendous losses. 6-6 Vandy and OU. Both as 2+ TD favorites. Blown out by OU. Gave up 40+ to Vandy… They own H2H over USCe but may not matter given how “hot” USCe is

Which leaves USCe. Think they’re most likely to jump us. 3 losses though, to both the other aforementioned teams will be a tough sell. The games either matter or they don’t - period.

A reasonable CFP ranking this week would be (seeding wise)
1) Oregon
2) Texas
3) SMU
4) Boise
5) Notre Dame
6) Ohio State(?)
7) Penn State
8) Georgia
9) Tennessee
10) Indiana
11) ASU
12) Miami
13) USCe
14) Alabama
15) Ole Miss

No way should Ohio State* be ahead of UGA after laying an egg at home vs a bad Michigan team. Both of Georgia’s losses were on the road.

In fact, Ohio State* should be disqualified anyway, since their players started a rumble and had to be pepper sprayed. You know that kind of behavior would definitely cause Miami to be DQd.

Under no circumstance does UGA wooping Texas and making Bama win against them look even better help us.

I'd argue it's definitely in our favor if Texas woops UGA and just makes it look like the SEC isn't very good except for Texas.
