What has to happen for Tennessee to get into the playoffs now?

In my opinion, the following things would need to happen for Tennessee to have a chance:

1. Tennessee wins out convincingly.
2. Kentucky beats Texas. Not necessary but it would get them to 2 losses, and that’s a Kentucky thing to do.
3. If that happens, Texas/Texas A&M becomes a playoff elimination game. Loser would have 3 losses. Preferably A&M loses as they are the more likely to drop further.
4. Florida beats Ole Miss. This one could happen. Ole Miss then has 3 losses, and they are out.
5. Need either Oklahoma or Auburn to beat Alabama. I don’t see that happening, but you never know.
6. BYU needs to get beaten by one of the last three teams they play, most likely Kansas. Then beat Colorado convincingly in the Big 12 championship.
7. Army to beat Notre Dame. That would be their second loss.
8. Ohio State needs to beat (it pains me to say that) Indiana by a landslide. I’m talking multiple touchdowns.

Not all of those have to happen, but they would help make it possible.

Georgia losing to Ole Miss really screwed us, as the Rebels would then have 3 losses and be out.

We just need to finish in the top 4 of SEC teams in the CFP ranking to make it. A much less likely scenario is 5 SEC teams make it if Notre Dame loses again.

If A&M, Bama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Tennessee finish at 6-2, I’m curious who gets the ticket to Atlanta.

I know the hype of an 8 way tie of 6-2 teams was talk of Gameday but LSU / Mizzou lost so they are done.

So in event of a 5 way tie for second place, i wonder if the 4th tie break needed for 8 way, isn’t needed. Whole a 2 loss team going to Atlanta has more risk than reward, they still have a chance to secure their way into Playoff and first round bye.


  • A. Head-to-head competition against the tied teams
  • B. Record versus all common conference opponents
  • C. Record against highest (best) placed common conference opponent in the conference standings, and proceeding through the conference standings among the tied teams
  • D. Cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents among the tied teams

Where is the coin toss or draw sticks?

I expect Georgia will finish out with their current 2 losses (I think one of their last two games is against a convent). Alabama still has a trip to Oklahoma on their schedule, and Texas completes their regular season with a visit to A&M (where I expect Texas will take it's 2nd loss). We still have Vandy ahead of us - and I'm not taking that one for granted.

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?

Not sure what game you was watching, we did not play well! We were outplayed and definitely outcoached. I'm not sure what happened to Heupels high flying offense, but it has gone dormant. I know we're 8-2, but I don't view this team as a top 12 overall team. We just made one of the most mediocre Georgia teams look like Georgia of old.

What? Georgia has two losses right now. Are you assuming Florida beats Ole Miss? I don’t understand this post.

Yes. Florida beats Ole Miss. Texas beats Bama in the SECCG. The committee puts 3-loss Bama in over 3-loss Ole Miss and 3-loss South Carolina. There’s no drama about a 2-loss Tennessee team getting in, at all.
