Could be setting up for TN vs SMU in Neyland Rd1. That would be awesome and I would have no complaints.

Then we would likely get Georgia round 2 at a neutral site, or Texas if they win the SECCG. I think we would have a good shot in either scenario And have the easier semifinal matchup if we won.

If the playoffs actually start with us as 9seed playing 1st round AT UGA 8 seed which GUARANTEES that of the 8 teams in the 2nd round of the playoffs, ONLY 2 of them can possibly be SEC schools....then the SEC needs to raise immortal Hell. Weak ass Big10 teams that would have 4 or 5 losses if they played an SEC schedule have been overrated and holding the top slots all season long. Same for ND...they are a damn joke too.

ND
Penn st
Indiana
Miami
SMU

Forget UT, UGA or Texas...HOW many of those 5 teams listed above would vegas make the favorite on a neutral site versus NON playoff teams Ole Miss, SC, or Bama? 3 loss SEC teams. All of them. I would lay $$$ on any of those 3 SEC teams vs any of those 5 STRAIGHT UP no spread. They are smaller, slower, and will get run over because they are deficient on BOTH lines, offense and defense. Miami is the only one with a chance because their QB is so good. Maybe they outscore one of the SEC teams. Maybe. Cant wait for the playoffs to start. The rankings will change so that all 3 SEC schools have a shot at the 2nd round...then we will beat up the Big10 and lesser conferences like we always do.

We need to hammer Vandy by a couple TDs and move up so we can host at Neyland in the 1st round though.

The thought that the committee would penalize Georgia for losing the SEC Title game and disregarding a head to head to win over Tennessee by some on here are hilarious.

A game is a game. It's not like Georgia is ranked #2 right now. They obviously don't think that highly of them if they have a 1 loss PSU and ND ahead of them. If Georgia loses a 3rd game, even the title game, it still counts. This is why nobody wanted to go to the SECCG.

Georgia will still be in the playoffs but no way should they be ranked higher than Tennessee. Heck Bama fans would be saying wait, we have 3 losses and we beat Georgia! Put us ahead of them.

All of that is foolish. If Georgia loses they drop from 8 to 9 or 10. Period.

If Georgia beats Texas then Tennessee is hosed because Texas won't drop from their current rank all the way below UT with Texas only having 2 losses. The ONLY solution is Georgia losing the SECCG.

Scenario 1) TX beats A&M and then beats GA. GA is out and we host game
Scenario 2) TX loses to A&M and A&M beats GA. GA is out, TX moves to 6-8 and TN plays on road.
Scenario 3) TX beats A&M and loses to GA. GA gets bye, TX moves to 6-8 and TN plays on road.

There is not a scenario where TN plays GA again in the fist round.

TX loses to A&M, TX will drop below Georgia. Depending on other factors, score of that game and score of Vandy game, TX may drop below us.

I do think the movement as the games are played will eliminate the GA and TN rematch, which I doubt the committee really wants.

First order of business though is to Beat Vandy!

Why? If A&M beats Texas, that will drop Texas lower than Texas will drop if they lose to Georgia in the SEC championship game.

Because then A&M gets to championship game to play Georgia. If they were to win, A&M , Georgia, and then probably Texas would be the top SEC teams to get in. We'd have to hope they take us as a 4th team IMO. obviously this is just all assumptions

We don't want TAMU in this mix. They are already out of this playoff. Let Texas win the whole thing. If they beat Georgia there's just no way Georgia will stay ranked above Tennessee and that's ALL we need to get a home game.
