Which one helps with keeping Ole Miss out?

If Georgia loses, thats almost a lock for ole miss getting in right (assuming Ole Miss wins out)?

How long until Carson Beck gets benched? Coach gave him the dreaded “vote of confidence “ earlier this week. But he’s terrible.

I was about to agree with you, but at the same time Beck just threw a bullet over the middle for a TD.

Karma is a bi*ch. All week GA fans, and even their AD on Finebaum, have been grinding their teeth at the committee for falling to #12 with a loss to TSUN. I feel a “Florida State moment” coming on. Georgia didn’t play well in Oxford or in Tuscaloosa. Belling aching doesn’t mean much to the committee. Put up on the field or Karma with beat you down, as in Florida State, this season.

I dislike Tn second to only the Bearsharks but whatever keeps OM out of the playoffs is fine with me.

Loss to Florida is the only thing keeping OM out of the playoff. There’s no other scenario.

Tuesday should be telling for the rest of the season for the CFP committee with Georgia/Ole Miss/Alabama/Tennessee

No and no.

Why would 12-1 BYU or 11-2 Miami be more deserving than 10-2 Ole Miss?
Why should a team that loses their conference championship game drop below a team that wasn’t even playing in their conference championship game?

Because the Big 12 and ACC are trash? And because the teams playing in the SEC championship are more or less going to be drawn from a hat?

The committee obviously disagrees with you given their current rankings.
WTF are you talking about? The question was if BYU has a loss or Miami has another loss. Neither of those has happened yet, so where the committee has them ranked now is totally irrelevant as it relates to those scenarios.

I know that they are up and down at quarterback, but I would not want to face them in the playoffs after the schedule they have played. They played Texas, Alabama, and Ole Miss on the road. When you combine that with their other games this season, they have played up a much more demanding schedule than other teams have.

Here’s my scenario

Tennessee wins out 10-2
Georgia wins out 10-2
Texas A&M wins out 10-2
Alabama wins out 10-2
Texas loses to aTm 10-2
Ole miss wins out 10-2

who gets left out?

ole miss is last out of those in espns PI
Alabama has a worse SOS but not by that much

Texas a&m losing to South Carolina hurts
Tennessee losing to Arkansas hurts

also our strength of schedule is currently NUMBER 1

First off, the SEC championship loser would get left out. The only way that doesn’t happen by default is if Texas wins out and then loses in Atlanta…..but that’s not in your scenario. The SEC championship matters a hell of a lot. The team that loses it IS going to get penalized relative to other teams that finished tied with them. I don’t know why people think that’s not going to happen. And then of course, the winner couldn’t possibly get left out. Chalk scenarios have Bama vs. the Texas / Texas A&M winner in the SEC championship. So, in your scenario, one of those 2 between Bama / Texas A&M are in automatically, the other probably out.

But then, another team probably is left out, too. My guess is Tennessee. They have the lowest SOS (#36) of all the 2-loss teams from the SEC. But there’s also a few scenarios where the SEC could get 5 teams in, like if ND loses to Army, or IU gets beat down badly by Ohio State.

Alabama lost to Vanderbilt, but them being Alabama should trump that loss. They almost lost to South Carolina, and didn't do great against South Florida until the end. And they lost to Tennessee who just lost to Georgia. They've not had a typical Alabama year, but they're still Alabama and will get in.

So let’s say Texas wins against aTm
Texas bama play in championship game

Texas in
Bama in
Georgia in
Tennessee/ole miss

Tennessee has a much better SOS than ole miss

if 5 teams get in, then it’s ole miss in this scenario

Bama is not necessarily in if they lose the SECCG. Texas probably would be, at 11-2.

It would probably be Texas, UGA, then Tennessee / Ole Miss in some order. Only if Bama won would there be a controversy, and they’d probably have to choose between Tennessee and Ole Miss.
