Eazy Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Very likely that there is only 1 SEC team with one loss. Heck, they might all have 2 losses before it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatMack19 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Very likely that there is only 1 SEC team with one loss. Heck, they might all have 2 losses before it's over. If Bama wins out and beats Miss St in a close game, I think Bama and Miss St get in. If Auburn wins out and Miss St drops a close one to Bama or Ole Miss, I think Auburn and Miss St get in. Those are the only 2 scenarios that I can see 2 SEC teams getting in the playoffs. That Is unless a bunch of other teams lose games they shouldnt and then it will be wide open.

TxHoops Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sec will get 1 team in. Unless they all have 2 losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eazy Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Remaining conference games for Top 3 SEC teams. Miss. St is NOT going to win all 3 games. Auburn probably has the best shot to win out. Miss. St (0 loss) = @ Alabama, Vandy, @ Ole Miss Alabama (1 loss) = @LSU, Miss. St, Auburn Auburn (1 loss) = A&M, @Georgia, @Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Miss St goes 2-1 and either Bama or Auburn win out, they will get in. I know yall can't wait for another all SEC National Title game.

bullets13 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 The SEC west is a perfect example of why we need an 8 team playoff. And I'm not a fan at all of the SEC. But they're going to have at least three 2-loss teams who would be 1-loss (at worst) teams in any other conference. Give us 8 teams. This way if a conference has two deserving teams, they can both get in. Also, if an upstart from a mid major goes undefeated, there's room to toss them in there and see what they can do.

Agree 100%. 4 teams is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullets13 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Another perfect example is when the big 12 south was super strong 5 or 6 years ago and OU, texas, and Tech all each went 1-1 against each other. OU won some cockamamie tiebreaker and went on to the big 12 title game, while the other two lost all chance at playing for a national title game. A 4-team playoff couldn't solve that, but an 8-team playoff might. shovel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog92 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've never understood going with 4 teams on the first crack at the playoff. I think the right number is 16, but 8 would be a lot better than this and I don't know why they didn't go with that to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I believe Auburn needs State to win out or to lose 2 games. A won loss State team would get in over a one loss Auburn team. That is should Auburn win out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatMack19 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 The two teams with the easiest schedule of all the contenders. Oregon beat #8 Michigan St and #18 UCLA. Lost to #19 Arizona. #17 Utah is the only ranked team left on their schedule. FSU beat #8 Notre Dame and #21 Clemson. No one else on their schedule is ranked. I don't see how GCM says easy is a relative term looking at those schedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eazy Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 FSU plays 1 Top 20 team all year. Oregon isn't much better, and Arizona wasn't even ranked when they lost to them. Meanwhile, you have Miss. St having to deal with 5 Top 10 teams at the time they play them. Apples to Oranges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatMack19 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just win your conference. So you don't want to see the best teams play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppermint Patty Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 So you don't want to see the best teams play? The best teams win their conference. If you win the SEC, then you should easily be the best team in the country. So just beat the other conference champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 The best teams win their conference. If you win the SEC, then you should easily be the best team in the country. So just beat the other conference champions. Not always... The SEC West is the exception to this rule. I think the top 5 of this conference is the best in college football. No way Oregon, Notre Dame or the FSU Criminoles survive a SEC W schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just beat the other conference champions. So if Miss State and Auburn win out, then Auburn gets left out of the SEC title game. You would take a Big 12 Champ K-State over Auburn even though Auburn beat them on the field. That doesn't make much sense to me. Put the best teams in the playoff!
