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

Well somebody from the ACC will get in. I believe that Big 10, SEC, Big 12, ACC, and Pac 12/Non power 4 conf champs get an auto bid.
Miami would win it's first ACC title the year it becomes an automatic pass to the playoffs.

Watch how many "upsets" we have in CCGs when the loser will get in either way but the winner wouldn't have gotten in with a loss.

ESPN playoff predictor says Bama and GA are locks to get in at 2 losses and no SECCG...

The playoff predictor says if you have 2 losses and don't make the SECCG this is your odds to make the playoff.

Bama 99%
GA 99%
Ole Miss 83%
TN 75%
Texas 63%

The odds for the others cant be nearly that high though in reality if Bama and GA are really close to being 99% locks to get in with that scenario.

It also says BYU is a 99% lock if they only lose the championship game and that Indiana is a 97% lock if they only lose to Ohio State with no championship game appearance. Miami is shown with a 33% chance if they lose their championship game

Would have been a wonderful format to have for UF's 09 team.. where you can just now lose two games and it's no big deal.

I said this to Ghost awhile back..All of this nonsense not even including the world of NIL sodomy we now live in is why many coaches and.. ones I know have gotten out of the game, it's even happening in basketball already too.

Imagine Spurrier with a 12 team playoff or even a 4 team playoff with the committee where your loss being later in the season wasn't a killer like it was in the AP and coaches top 25 poll. He would have had a chance almost every year.

I still think 8 teams was the right number though.

lol at this playoff talk. You have TX fans acting like they deserve their ranking when their resume is barely beating Vanderbilt and getting smoked by Georgia. Take away their name and being in the SEC and they are likely around #14 or # 15.

But isn't this why they came to the SEC?

even though its the first year of 12, it's one of those fields if you get in you're gonna have a chance either way.. No one is dominant and that's still gonna favor one or two of these SEC teams rosters when it matters most deep into the season and playoffs

I can't tell if the big 10 teams are good or really good. Miami is loaded, but I think their coach is a putz.
 
Ohio State has most talent and money put into winning right now as any other team, but unless they somehow get the left side of their OL back they can't win anything if Will Howards arm is gonna be their path to winning anything.. Miami is a joke and everyone has watched them lose 3 games now to nobodies, who is their best win? is it really Napier and Florida? LMFAO

Penn States defense is amazing, but they can't score so it doesn't matter, Indiana is really good but you'll know everything you need to know next week. SMU is interesting like Indiana and they're both fun to watch. Byu is a wasted spot in the playoff, there's gonna be a couple, Oregon could lose to anyone from the SEC.

Miami should have at least 3 losses. Washington State, Cam Ward's former team, is 8-1 and most likely will finish 11-1 without Ward.

Wash State is basically playing close to a group of 5 schedule now though. It is crazy that they could get in the playoff still as the PAC 12 champ if Boise State loses their conference championship game.

Yep a lot of teams with issues. The argument from ACC fans is SMU has only lost to an undefeated #6 BYU and they have a top 20 win over Louisville while TX has no top 25 win and got rolled by Georgia so they are only ranked way lower due to SEC bias. That an Ole Miss team with 2 losses including one to KY and a Bama team with 2 losses including one to Vandy shouldn't be over them.

The 5 highest ranked conference champs get in - Big 10, Big 12, SEC, ACC winners, plus the highest ranked champ from among the AAC, Mountain West, Conference USA, Sun Belt & AAC. Right now that team would be Boise St. The Big 10 is almost assuredly getting 3 teams in along with their champ. Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana and Penn State. Along with the 4 other conference winners, that's 8 slots filled right there. Notre Dame's last 3 games are Virginia, Army & USC. Barring a major upset, they'll be in as an independent, leaving only 3 spots, which I think the SEC will take.

The committee's worst scenario is if an undefeated BYU loses the Big 12 game and if Miami barely loses to SMU in the ACC game. The ACC will throw a fit but I think Miami would be left out but BYU would be in along with the Big 12 champ.

I don't think BYU gets in if they lose to Colorado or whoever else they might play. Their SOS is only #56 and their FPI ranking is #27.

You never know but I think like with TCU they won't keep an undefeated regular season power 4 team out (without they lost their QB argument) and give the spot to a 2 loss regular season team.
