KKKLIP ART posted:A loss might not keep Tennessee out of the playoff but it depends how bad the loss is. If UGA thumps them like they thumped Oregon (which even in my homer brain I know will be impossible) it might take a lot of the shine off and keep them out. I expect it'll be a shootout a la the Bama game, but we will see. I think young Stetson's performance is the deciding factor if both teams are on their game.

I’ve lost the narrative. Does Bama want a the Dawgs or Tennessee to win? Or does it even matter? A 2011 styled rematch would be fun. This said Sabes mentioned that Young is getting severely reduced passing practice after getting hurt in the Arkansas game so gently caress us I guess.

If we lose to UGA, UT fans need to become huge Michigan fans in the hope OSU losing puts us back in the top 4. I think a close loss would put us around 5-6. A blowout would drop us further, likely behind Bama depending on how their game looks this weekend.

Barring a lot of wackiness I think we're almost certainly getting two SEC teams in the playoff this year (the committee will do what it can to avoid placing three, but it's not out of the question). Tennessee's most direct route if they lose to Georgia is hoping Georgia takes care of business against Alabama in the SECCG. In that scenario Alabama has two losses and isn't a factor in the playoff conversation. If Bama beats Georgia in the SECCG, committee pretty much has to let Bama in as SEC champion so then it comes down to Georgia and Tennessee, in which case Georgia has the head-to-head advantage.

If LSU beats Bama and wins the SECC do they put them in the playoffs over one loss UGA/UT? e: ideally LSU beating Bama and losing in the SECC gets both UT and UGA in the playoffs.

I don’t know, we do have precedent for a 2-loss P5 champ getting leapfrogged into the playoff by a 1-loss team in their conference, even though they had a win over said 1-loss team. (I'm talking Big Ten 2016 with Penn State and Ohio State) LSU having two losses is going to be a pretty big hurdle even if they win out. The CFB is capricious in their explained logic, but I think "two losses and you're out, even if you win a conference we like" is a precedent that they'll stick to.

If they got 4 undefeated conference champs, well there's your playoffs. The talking heads can yammer all they want, but there's no way the committee is going to put a 1-loss team in over an undefeated conference champ.

An undefeated P5 champ is never getting left out at the end of the day, unless there are 5 undefeated P5 champs.

I don't think it's necessarily a hot take to say the SEC over the last 10-15 years and Alabama in particular are at least a factor in the discussion from last week about why the number of people in college football threads has declined substantially. Personally, outside of my own team making it one year (and not acquitting themselves very well), the playoff has worn pretty thin on me because it's been the same 5-6 teams competing for spots every year with an outlier getting in and being squashed every 2-3 years. Week to week, college football is still pretty exciting, but on a big picture scale, it's starting to bore me.

Bama will have to win out to get in. If we want to be fair, the playoffs would involve Michigan AND Ohio State, then two of Tennessee/Georgia/Alabama. Undefeated TCU would be next, then Clemson.

They absolutely don’t give a poo poo about any of these things and will happily put in LSU, winner of a national championship a mere three years ago, if given a good reason. If anything that’s an argument for not letting Notre Dame in but they will also jump at the chance to do that the moment Notre Dame makes their case.
