There is a chance that only 3 SEC teams make the 12 team playoff this year...

[Gator Fever]

The committee doing what they feel like again.

Somehow Miami dropped below Bama despite not playing and Bama beating Mercer. If their thought is this why was Miami in front of them last week before this meaningless week for both teams.

1 loss BYU dropped behind 1 loss SMU by a spot despite beating them head to head.

Ole Miss and Bama are in front of GA despite GA having the clearly better resume than both of them. If head to head is that strong now then why is SMU in front of BYU. You could even argue TN over Bama just using that or say it shouldn't mean as much with the other teams because of that.

If things don't get down to 4 SEC 2 loss or less teams A&M beating Texas will throw a nice twist into things. Who gets left out along with TN. Imo it should clearly be TX but I think A&M fans could be right they will try and Get TX in there if they can and screw someone else.

We know Bama will be given a spot regardless of the SECCG game outcome but will A&M with a loss there? Would they screw A&M right after they beat TX head to head and went 10-2 regular season to put TX in.

This Miami team is the 2024 version of the 2023 FSU team.

 

[Gator Fever]

This Miami team is the 2024 version of the 2023fantasy land.

FSU had a real good defense and was a different team with their starting QB though.

Miami can probably score on anyone but their defense has not been anything like I thought it could be at the beginning of the season and has been pretty bad.

Ward isn’t near as good as Travis.

Ward isn’t near as good as Travis.

He is pretty good but he is arrogant. Throws some picks where he should have never thrown the ball.

 

[gatordad3]

Ward isn’t near as good as Travis.

Travis spent 1 year at Louisville while spending his last 6 years with FSU, so Ward should be better in 2 years at Miami.

Beck as an A is an absolute joke with how he has played this season.

Gabriel looked bad the one game I watched him but I haven't seen his other games.

Kiffin's right. But ole miss has never been to an SEC title game. If they are truly the best team in the country then they should be able to win the sec championship. Consider it the first playoff game.

 

[Gator Fever]

The big issue now with the craziness in the SEC yesterday is how will the committee handle it. I think Indiana is pretty much a lock to get a spot now and the 4 Big Ten teams are in barring a big upset this week.

The Big 12 is a 4 way tie right now and has a lot of possible scenarios for which the 2 get in their game but I think I read Colorado would only get in if they end up in a 3 way tie with Arizona State and Iowa State.

A&M even after that loss will be a Top 4 seed with a bye week if they can beat TX and then Georgia in the SECCG.

What does the committee do with the top 3 loss SEC team and Clemson scenario? Dabo was talking the usual SEC favortism claims yesterday about the committee.

What I think the committee could possibly do is if Miami lost to SMU in the ACCCG is keep them over 2 loss Clemson (who would have beaten SC) and the highest 3 loss SEC team which gets rid of the problem. If SC beat Clemson they still have the argument that a 1 loss regular season team should go over a 3 loss regular season team. Will that apply to a 1 loss regular season SMU also?

I am also curious if Bama drops below Ole Miss or not looking that bad against Oklahoma.

Will be interesting. Remember that the Big 12 and highest ranked non power 4 school get auto bids. Right now the Big 10 gets 4, SEC will get 3, ACC 2, ND, Big 12 champ and highest non power 4. I think both SMU and Miami are in barring upsets this Saturday. Clemson blows chunks. They've beaten nobody.

South Carolina probably beats Clemson anyway.

 

[Gator Fever]

Curious if Clemson beats SC would they take SMU if they lost the ACCCG or Clemson. Pretty sure if Miami loses they take Miami over Clemson.

If Colorado can get a 3 way tie with IA St and AZ State to make the Big 12 game would they at the last minute jump Colorsdo up a lot if they won it past Tulane. You would think it wouldn't be enough but they probably want Deion in the playoff if they won the Big 12.

I think with all the SEC upsets, the ACC gets 2 teams in the playoffs now. The Big 12 will only get their champion, IMO.

I agree. 4 big 10, 3 sec, 2 acc, 1 Big 12, 1 non power 4, and ND. Texas is the only SEC lock in my opinion. Crazy thing is crappy Alabama could still back their way in.

If ND lost to USC or something like that they may try to get Bama in as long as SC beats Clemson.

If Bama gets in AGAINthis yr I might not watch. They are an embarrassment, loses to vandy, scores 3 against a bad OU team... we are better than bama rn

I think it should be locked by conf, so SEC and Big 10 get a max of 3 in, ACC and big 12 get a max of 2 in then , then highest G5, then either pac 12 champ or another g5.

ND is not eligible until they join a conference

Are you kidding me? ND join a conference? They might actually have to play somebody then.

All the 12 team teams that get in their are gonna be blowout games. Remember when everyone thought TCU belonged and Georgia beat them by 70.Put Indiana, SMU, Boise State and Notre Dame all in the SEC and they get their asses handed to them. You see what happened to Indiana when they played OSU and was run off the field.

Speaking of TCU, Michigan came into that game looking for payback against Georgia. What they forgot was they had to play TCU. pOSU and Michigan should have played for CFP final in January of 2023. Michigan looked far more focused the next year.

I know we still have some football left to be played but you see who is sitting there at 13 just waiting for a chance to pounce into the top 12 if they beat Auburn. Let some teams 7-12 lose and watch out.

I doubt they would jump a one loss ACCCG loser and Clemson would probably stay in front with a SC win. If ND lost things could get interesting.

 

[Gator Fever]

Committee now will have to decide who goes out of Miami, SC, Bama and Ole Miss if SMU wins the ACCCG. I think if SMU loses they will give them the spot for being 1 loss regular season.

Crazy. But SMU will beat them.

 

[LizardGrad89]

Not so craz

Crazy. But SMU will beat them.

Not so crazy for the ACC. I remember the year 5-loss FSU won the ACC and got the right to be destroyed in the Orange Bowl. The ACC, where a team that's no better than 40th best in the country can get into the playoffs.

Having said that, I would also note that if the ACC is going to get two teams in no matter what, I'd prefer SMU and Clemson to SMU and Miami. But my first choice is just SMU, allowing USC-E to get slot #12.

If the ACC gets 2 in, then there's only room for 3 sec teams. Which I'm ok with. Bama thumping their chests this morning about the playoffs, uhhh, didn't last week you put up a whopping 3 points against 2-6 conference foe Oklahoma?

If Clemson beats SMU, would the committee put in Alabama over SMU? I think Miami is out, but not sure about SMU, even with a loss.
Oregon, Penn State, Indiana and Ohio State are in, Notre Dame is in, Georgia, Texas & Tennessee are in, The Big 12 winner is in and the Mountain West Conference is in, either Boise State or UNLV. Maybe it's possible they put in Tulane over UNLV if both win, but I doubt it. And the ACC champ is in. That's 11 teams. So for that 12th slot, there is a 2nd ACC team or either Alabama, South Carolina or Ole Miss. I think Alabama would be the SEC pick and I think if SMU wins the ACC title game, I think Bama gets in over Miami.

I would really be surprised if they allowed a 3 loss power 4 team to go over a 1 loss power 4 team pre- champ game so my guess is SMU gets in with a loss.

I guess I lean to Bama due to media influence beating out SC and Miami if SMU wins. SC has the argument its the best of them the 2nd half of the season.
