There are currently 9 SEC teams with 2 or fewer losses. There are scenarios where as many as 7 of those teams could end the regular season at 10-2, which would be insanity. Out of the 6 teams with only 1 loss currently, I believe only the winner of Tenn/UGA and Texas have a real chance of finishing with only one loss. How many teams do you think end the regular season with 1 loss and how many with 2 losses?

My prediction is (0) 1-loss teams and (4-5) 2-loss teams.

Below is the remaining schedule for each of the 9 teams with 2 or fewer losses:



Texas A&M (6-1): LSU, @USC, New Mexico St, @Auburn, Texas

LSU (6-1): @A&M, Alabama, @UF, Vandy, Okla

Georgia (6-1): UF, @Ole Miss, UT, U Mass, GT

Tennessee (6-1): UK, Miss St, @UGA, Utep, @Vandy

Missouri (6-1): @Alabama, Okla, @USC, @Miss St, Ark

Texas (6-1): @Vandy, UF, @Ark, UK, @A&M

Vandy (5-2): Texas, @Auburn, USC, @lsu, Tenn

Alabama (5-2): Mizz, @lsu, Mercer, @ Okla, Auburn

Ole Miss (5-2): Okla, @Ark, UGA, UF, Miss St.

Perfect, then who beats us for a second loss? The OP said no team would only have 1 loss

I assume for this 7 teams sitting at 10-2 our last loss would have to be Vandy since they currently have 2 losses already. We would have to beat Georgia to hand them their second loss and all 3 of us would end with 2 that way.

ESPN's computer model currently have these percentages of making the playoffs (SEC teams):
UGA - 87%
Tex - 78%
TN - 67%
Bama - 45%
LSU - 39%
A&M - 32%
Ole Miss - 23%
Mizzou - 16%

There are a number of games that teams are close favorites however so these percentages will likely change significantly.

Way too soon to speculate. I like the A&M schedule and they are undefeated in conference

So it's too soon for my 2027 preview? But in all seriousness, there is a better than 50/50 chance you have 3-4 SEC teams with 1 conference loss so I have no idea who would play in the championship game. Might be a situation where a team that doesn't get to play due to some weird tie breaker is grateful.

you keep going down the list until you're just left with two teams.. Not sure it gets past bullet number two

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) uses the following tiebreaker rules to determine the teams that will compete in the football championship game:


  • Head-to-head competition: The tied teams compete against each other


  • Record against common opponents: The tied teams' records against all common conference opponents are compared


  • Record against the highest-ranked common opponent: The tied teams' records against the highest-ranked common conference opponent are compared


  • Cumulative conference winning percentage: The tied teams' cumulative conference winning percentages against all conference opponents are compared


  • Capped relative total scoring margin: The tied teams' relative offensive and defensive margins are compared


  • Random draw: If the tie persists, a random draw will be held between the tied teams

The relative total scoring margin is calculated using a formula that takes into account a team's offensive and defensive scoring averages relative to their actual scores against SEC teams. The formula caps a team's offensive scoring at 42 points and their defensive scoring allowed at 48 points.

May need its own post but will leave here for now.
Let’s say we beat UGA and win all others. Who do we face in the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP game and how does winning/losing that game impact these speculations?
