Bama down at half.
A&M down two TD's
Ole Miss just loss.

The SEC could be down to three 10-win teams by the end of the night. I kind of figure Bama will pull it out and A&m just scored. Tenn still has Vandy and Bama has Auburn.

They called illegal touching on Alabama's slot receiver on fourth down, claiming he was covered up. All the replays showed the receiver outside him was about a yard or two behind the line. Alabama got a touchdown taken off the board and lost the ball on downs.
Oh my, Bama got a bad call. I guess they just laid down after that, because OK has been in their shat.
9:40 to go.

Short answer. Very. All that talk about SEC possibly getting 5 in ended pretty quickly today.
I have been saying all season the SEC would not, but I was wrong. They would have gotten five if they had five teams with two or less losses.

This is why I think the SEC doesn't go to 9 conference games. Think how bad it would be if they did play nine games this season. Might have only gotten one.

Screw em. They got away with the BS ignored Illegal touching by Calvin Ridley in 2017 at MSU that cost MSU the game.

If TAMU wins next weekend they finish number 1 in the conference with a 3rd loss to a playoff team. How do you keep them out?
They would still have to beat Georgia in the Championship. Can't be letting a 4 loss non conference champ in the first playoff. There would be anarchy.

ETA. I don't think A&M could finish number one in the regular season. It's all about SEC record, common opponents, etc. Since they will have both beat the common opponents, I think it will basically come down to who they lost to and their standings in the SEC. Auburn & USCe is worse than Alabama & Ole Miss.


Here are the tiebreakers and I think it's time we go back to divisions. This is a 17ing mess.

I know that’s what’s going to happen. I’m just highlighting it doesn’t make a ton of sense. We are going to end up punishing teams for scheduling strong OOC opponents and for making the title game. Schedule wake and don’t make the title game and they are 10-2 if they win over TX

Most years the SEC will earn/deserve 4 spots.....but not necessarily every year. This is one of those "off" years. Now if they were going by overpaid coaches and candy a$$ed rosters filled with prima donnas we'd have at least 6 teams but I HOPE (not holding my breath) we never sink that low.

Maybe so. But I don't think Notre Dame is hurting A&M at all in this case. Losing to a 4 win Auburn team is doing them in. If they win yesterday and lose to Texas they are in as a 3 loss team most likely. If they had lost to Tennessee yesterday and then beat Texas and lost to UGA they probably sneak in with 4 losses.

Same can be said for Ole Miss and Bama losing to Kentucky and Oklahoma respectively. Losing to bottom tier teams is a problem.

But overall, I agree with you. We probably need divisions and a 9th conference game.

In this scenario I think we are in the playoffs this year, no?
They would kick me off the playoff committee the first day but I would demand to see NIL team payroll figures of the top 25 and make the teams with the lowest payrolls my priority to find a spot in the playoffs. They are the ones whose coaches and players most earned it. I know I know.....get off my lawn.
