Any loss that knocks one out of SEC Title

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Game contention would also tend to knock one out of playoff contention. Winning the SEC is the first goal. Sneaking into the playoff after not winning the SEC is goal number two. Priorities people. GoVols

You would rather lose our way out of the SEC Title and automatic bid and hope we get selected to host a playoff game? Is that correct?

Agreed...obviously the #1 seed has the most optimal path, but #5 or #6 might actually be the next best route.

#5 Seed

First Round -- HOME vs #12 seed (Likely Boise State/Army/Navy)

Second Round -- vs #4 (Iowa State/BYU)

#6 Seed

First Round -- HOME vs #11 seed (Iowa State/BYU/Indiana)

Second Round -- vs #3 (Miami/Clemson)
