I believe with LSU and Missouri no longer in the list of tied teams, Bama lost their edge as did several other teams. That is two wins against "tied teams" they would no longer have. The rules are clear that the first comparison is the "tied teams" against each other. Best they could be is 1-1 against the tied teams, just like Tennessee would be.

I would not be surprised for the second team to be from a random drawing among the tied teams or they use the scoring margin which would seem to favor Ole Miss as they would have played only one of the tied teams and won by 18.

If Ole Miss is not one of the teams whether it favors Bama or Georgia depends upon whether it is A&M or Texas in the "tied group".

This may be my first post. Not sure. The team played well tonight against an elite UGA team. The one drive with the questionable facemask and BS 12 men on the field was the deciding factor tonight. With that being said, after the showing tonight, what has to happen for us to have an opportunity to play in the playoffs?

Does UT deserve a playoff bid? I bleed orange but we don't.

But you also can’t use head to head when several teams are tied. You move down the line until there is a clause that applies. The one that will apply is best record against common opponents. That’s Alabama.

No, not quite. At the moment is no round robin or common opponent for all (currently likely to be) five teams, meaning the deciding tiebreaker would be cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents for all (currently likely to be) five teams.

Yes, that’s what I meant. Was just typing too fast. This is the one Alabama has the tiebreak for and it’s not close heading into this weekend.

Tennessee's Week 12 Playoff Review/Guide

Tennessee lost. That's the bad news. Had they won (and assuming they took care of business against Vandy) then UT would have had been guaranteed a spot. That did not happen unfortunately and now it's out of Tennessee's hands. I have noticed, whether fair or not, there seemed to be some anti-UT...

It’s starting to feel like if you don’t follow a team that the media loves then your team is screwed. Did they play perfect tonight? Clearly not but it was there for the taking and two big calls absolutely contributed to the loss. Not to mention the fact that BYU and Indiana inexplicably jumped us after we won our game by 19 last week. There is very clear bias and it will ruin the sport.
