This thread has kind of gone off the rails.
Back to the SEC and how many teams it gets in. Texas, Georgia & Tennessee are in for sure, IMO. Whether or not another team SEC gets in depends on what happens in the conference title games. Notre Dame is in for sure. The Arizona State/Iowa State winner is in, the Boise State/UNLV winner is in, Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State and Penn State are in, and the SMU/Clemson winner is in. That's 11 teams, so who gets the 12th slot - SMU if they lose, Miami, Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina? My guess is that SMU gets in as a conference title loser unless they get blown out by Clemson. If SMU wins, I think Alabama gets the 12th slot. Just my opinion.
