I doubt they’d drop PSU, even with a blowout loss to Oregon. They’d say that PSU’s 11-2 record trumps Tennessee’s 10-2.

The will not drop PSU past the SEC - they are set on the Big 10 team being hosts over the SEC. That gives the Big 10 a chance to win more games and that is what they want to happen.

Sure the refs will call an even game in Columbus. They send Big 12 crew?

I think Georgia falls behind Tennessee with a loss against Texas. That's probably our only hope for a home game unless Penn State gets demolished and falls.

Good point. I’m going to be a big Texas fan Saturday. Maybe should root for Clemson too because a loss would probably drop SMU behind us. I think they stay in but no way they give SMU a home game if they lose to Clemson.

Bah. This is what happens when you let yankee northern and northeast media get their hands on things. They overvalued the Big 10 for decades before the SEC finally brought them down. Now they’ve got their grubby claws on the steering wheel again - and can steer the SEC as they see fit. Warde Manuel, MICHIGAN grad, is going to see to it.

No way. They will justify putting GA ahead because GA beat TN.
bottom line, they will protect Bama, GA and Ohio State.

If they wanted to screw the SEC they would have let Miami in

I don’t know why some of you are surprised. They were never going to drop OSU below TN. They wanted OSU higher and will use their two top ten wins as justification.

I hope top ten winner number one gets embarrassed by Oregon and the other top 10 team get boat raced by whomever they play. And that we beat OSU followed by beating Oregon and let the Big 10 with "ZERO" teams after the quarterfinal!

They dropped Georgia with that second loss OUT of the top 12. They dropped Tennessee after their loss to Georgia in the first out spot. Both of those losses were to RANKED teams.

It is apparent that are not treating teams the same.

What the committee normally does that they aren't doing now is what have you done lately. Nico is clearly a better QB and OSU just got shut out at home their last half of football.

It's not about the conference, but about the team. Tennessee just won't get the respect until they win big again. Nearly 15 years in the gutter damaged our brand more than most want to admit.

Please you know full well it is about the conference - the SEC dominated for years, and the media never liked that. So yes it is about protecting the BIG 10.
