Best scenario?

Michigan and Ohio State can’t win out as they play each other. The winner of that game will get a playoff spot. Clemson will get a playoff spot. The SEC champ will get a playoff spot. The 4th spot will be up for an undefeated Big12, PAC12 or 1 loss SEC team. Considering the run the Big and Pac 12 have had of being upset and ruining playoff chances, I feel very comfy saying a 1 loss SEC team gets the final spot.

Does the big 12 even have a undefeated team anymore now that Oklahoma state lost. Just realized tcu is undefeated. That want last though

Jamarcus Russell was a highly rated QB. Look at his stats. He isn’t that good. He isn’t as good as a 80% Bryce Young and he couldn’t beat us. Yes they beat MSU but Leach is a clown and their offense is paltry compared to ours.

Right. That's why I put a slash between the two...

The SEC champ will get a playoff spot, but if UCLA, Clemson, TCU and Michigan/Ohio State all happen to win out, there may not be room for a second SEC one loss team.

We are fans, we can afford to speculate. Now if the coaches and players do that, then it is a problem.

You are correct that Kentucky is a tough opponent that we need to be prepared for but it is still fun to discuss Georgia.

The problem is not all fans are created equal. Some are also business owners with NIL deals with student athletes. This comes with much more access to players. If prevailing sentiment is looking too far ahead that’s how it ends up getting to the players heads.

I hope we blow them out, but if we slack up or start slow this game could be a trap game without doubt. They need to hold Tillman out until this game to provide some extra spark.

Clemson is winning out. Michigan/Ohio State winner is winning out. So that leaves 2 spots. One for the SEC champ and one for the group of a 1 loss SEC team, undefeated PAC12 and Big 12 champs. My spoiler team would be TCU running table. However, they will have to play Okie State again most likely. Hard to beat same team twice in one year.

Gotta get past Kentucky that will be a tough game now that Levis is back and has a week off to recover even more.

Not scared of KY in the least. TN just beat a healthy Bryce Young playing at his best. KY has a decent offense but they’re not as good as Bama on either side of the ball. Heupel will have the team dialed in and they’ll boat-race KY at home.

Is the best/easiest way to get in the playoff to lose a close game to Georgia and win all other games, 11-1 ?

Generally speaking, in sports, winning more games improves a team’s chances of a championship. Almost every time.

The easiest path is to beat UGA and then we are in regardless. If we are playing in Atlanta, we are 12-0. At 12-1 with a loss in Atlanta, we would still be in top 4 and the SEC Champ would be in.

There are only like 6 teams left for 4 playoff spots:

Clemson
Winner of Ohio State and Michigan
SEC Champ
SEC At large (12-1 division winner or 11-1 division runner up)

Potential spoilers would be Ole Miss and TCU

Lol. You realize that as another currently undefeated team, Ole Miss could very well represent the SEC West in the SEC Championship game and claim one of your two designated SEC spots. They aren’t currently in a spoiler roll.

Ole Miss will not win the west. As much as I think Kiffin is a good coach, I don’t see him beating Bama. I do think he goes 10-2 at worst. But if he runs table that includes beating Bama and Miss State, we are likely out of the playoff convo with a loss to UGA.

I don’t trust Kiffin to run the table simply because Ole Miss has never done it. Would I be surprised if he did? Probably not. But until it happens, I will think Bama is coming out the West. Sorta how people couldn’t believe we’d beat Bama until we actually did it.

Don’t get me wrong, i would love to see Tennessee vs Ole Miss in Atlanta. SEC could thrive from Kiffin and Hype being the faces of the league. It’s been “Saban and his former assistants” for almost a decade….

The Levis hype is based mostly on his physical height, build and, strength. He ticks most of the boxes for the NFL combine.
He is a "prototype" NFL QB.
He is a C grade on the intangibles.
I doubt he aces the Wondelic Test. His draft stock will go down.
Scouts got burned on Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell.
Most of them learned their lesson. Levis' stock will go down to real world levels.

Problem is there is nobody else on their schedule that poses a threat to them. Here is their remaining games:
Syracuse
Notre Dame
Louisville
Miami
South Carolina

Clemson isn’t losing any of those. So they win the ACC at 12-0. They will be in. Clemson is a legit playoff team. Their defense is nasty and their offense has found their rhythm.

Syracuse might give them a game

Somebody will scare them. Never fails. Now whether the other team has the fortitude to finish the job is the question
