If you think UGA drops behind UT with both having 10 wins and UGA winning head to head then I hate to tell you there is zero chance that is going to happen. That SEC championship loss would also be to the number 2 Texas team at that point.

A team they had already beaten once in Austin. Unless Georgia Tech beats them, I don’t think we will or should be ranked over Georgia.

What we need is USC to beat Notre Dame.

We do. Here is the text from the email sent by UT:

TENNESSEE HOSTS A HOME, FIRST-ROUND CFP GAME:

GAME DATES: Friday, December 20, 2024 or Saturday, December 21, 2024

REQUEST PROCESS: Season ticket holders will have an exclusive window to submit their ticket requests (for their current seats) for the CFP game at Neyland Stadium. The request period will run after Tennessee becomes bowl eligible through the Monday (December 9) after the CFP announcement. Please watch your email during the season for the specific dates and instructions.

TICKET ALLOCATION PROCESS: Current season ticket holders and donors will have the first right of refusal for their current seats. In December, any unrequested seats will be sold in donor rank order.

PAYMENT: During the ticket request process, you will be prompted to provide your credit card information. If Tennessee hosts a home CFP game, your card will be charged after the game is announced.

PRICING: Ticket pricing is set by the CFP. Pricing will be included when the request window opens after Tennessee becomes bowl eligible.

Never said those teams were better than SEC teams. Impossible to justify taking three loss teams over 1 loss teams regardless of who is better. We all know a 2 loss SEC team is usually better then a 1 loss Big10 team, but to justify that selection simply isn't possible.

In that format, the SEC would have 16 teams with 4 pods. Each pod winner would be seeded 1-4 and the SEC portion would begin. 1 plays 4 & 2 plays 3 - with the winners playing in the SEC championship. The winner of the SEC CG would represent the SEC in the final 4.
The same thing would happen in the other three conferences.

If some really good SEC team misses out then they either were not the best team in their pod or they lost early on in the tournament. Takes "selection committees" out of the equation.

I'm for any idea that takes some "committee" of bureaucrats out of the equation, and I'd be all for the pod system in the SEC and just crowning an SEC champ and calling it a day.

Unless they’re just wildly generous with their seat dimensions, it’s unlikely that one seat accommodates one band member plus their tuba. So a 415-member band takes up well north of that once you factor in the stuff they’re playing.

Probably not as there has not been a year quite like this one. It isn't that the SEC has beaten up each other, it is other conferences have more decent teams.

All 4 conferences need to go to 16 teams and then the pod system. Playoffs start with pod winners, then the conference championship games, the the last 4 standing.

Actually gives you a true 16 team playoff.

I would think its because they have LESS decent teams leaving 3 or 4 teams to clean up. In the SEC there are lots of decent teams and that adds up to a lot of 1 and 2 loss teams. The better the conference, the more decent teams you have, and the more upsets you have.

If Georgia loses and is dropped from 12 team playoff,will that spell the end of SEC championship game?

I doubt it.

The SEC makes tons of money off that game. Perhaps more than they make off one more team in the CFP (depending on how far they go.)

Follow the $$$.

Teams in the B10 and SEC aren’t going to be punished for losing the conference title game. I’m not even sure that their seeding would be affected, other than not being the top four and receiving a bye.

So they say. It'll be interesting to see what they actually do (especially if it's a 3 loss team)

If A&M beats Texas and Georgia beats A&M then A&M would have 4 losses. If we beat Vandy then we should jump them and Texas.

Yep. I was addressing the scenario after a hypothetical Texas win at A & M, since many seem to be operating under the assumption that Texas will win that game. Personally, I’m not so sure, and you’re right, A&M winning that one is ideal for us now that they’ve lost to Auburn, so long as UGA then beat A&M in the SEC ‘chip.

You get zero arguments from me about the SEC and other conferences, I just don't see the "committee" wanting to justify it to the parts of the country west of the Mississippi or north of the Mason Dixon line.

They can't handle the truth.

Texas would probably not fall below us. Georgia is only 1 spot above us, so a loss and they will be behind us. Current projection says we need to move up 2 spots to host. We really need to POUND Vamdy and hope for some carnage above us.

I actually think A&M beats Texas, and if so how far does Texas fall?
