Georgia needs to creep into the playoffs. Here's how:
- Alabama v. Miss St. winner goes to 11-1, loser goes to 10-2.
- Missouri wins SEC Championship over Alabama or Miss St. Missouri goes to 11-2. Loser goes to 11-2.
Georgia sits pretty at 10-2 after winning over ranked Georgia Tech.
Four SEC teams have two loses. Which one goes to the playoffs?
They all go to the playoffs. Those are now the best 4 teams by far...
The first games SHOULD BE: Alabama v Mississippi St, round 2
Missouri v Georgia, round 2
This is the only fair way to settle which dominant SEC team is the most dominate.
SEC power, Georgia, unDominated GT. SEC losses to a lowly non-SEC team. Worse, an ACC team. Ugh....

The time has come for the SEC to be shutout of the championship. I would love to see how the media (ESPN) works hard to spin getting an SEC team (not named Missouri) into the four-team playoffs.
Yeah, remember seven out of the last eight years? The best of the SEC has no chance against the rest of the country, right?
Clemson over South Carolina
Georgia Tech over Georgia
Louisville over Kentucky
Florida State about to kick off against Florida, I'm leaning towards another SEC loss in that one too.

South Carolina, Kentucky, and Florida are terrible. GT was ranked and beat Georgia in overtime. What's your point?
The point is, the SEC has several cupcakes in conference. Add the OCC cupcakes and the SEC's best only play 3-4 decent teams, several of which are not much better than average (Georgia).
The point is most SEC teams play a horrible out of conference schedule, and they only play 8 conference games. Their excuse for this is that the SEC is so tough top to bottom that they are allowed to play coastal carolina and still not lose credit. Well, it looks like top to bottom the SEC is mostly below average as I have been telling you guys for weeks.

The SEC East is terrible. Even SEC homers will tell you that. To disregard the West and say this is the year to keep the SEC out just because the East sucks shows how little you know about football. In all seven consecutive SEC wins in the BCS title game, ZERO were from the East. When people talk about the SEC elite, they're talking about the West. I thought most people understood that.

How many other teams across the country try to schedule SEC West teams? It goes both ways. Do you think teams from other conferences are clamoring to play the top SEC teams? Have you ever heard a team talk about trying to schedule a top SEC program and not be able to?
Okay, the SEC can play in the defunct BCS title game: a game which no longer exists.

The BCS title game doesn't exist anymore? Thanks for letting me know. I hadn't heard that.

"shows how little you know about football"
Haha irony is a bitch.
BTW Florida is in the east.

I'm not going to pretend to know whether teams around the country avoid scheduling teams or if those teams want to avoid scheduling tough out of conference games. I would suggest you shouldn't either because neither of us know exactly what goes on.
I will say most games are scheduled years in advance so it is tough to know exactly how good your team or another team will be.

From Wikipedia,
"The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was a selection system that created five bowl game match-ups involving ten of the top ranked teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of American college football, including an opportunity for the top two teams to compete in the BCS National Championship Game. The system was in place from 1998–2013, inclusive."
You're right. Forgot Florida had gotten in there a couple of times. Four different teams from the West plus Florida.

Nothing gets past you, does it?
Three from the west.

That's exactly my point. People always talk about how the SEC doesn't play any good out of conference games. No one knows who is trying to schedule who. What if the SEC teams want to play good teams out of conference and no one wants to play them? Tennessee has had a couple of games against Oklahoma and Oregon the past few years but Tennessee has been terrible.

That's right. LSU, Auburn, and Bama.
Don't know how the East has fallen so badly in the past few years.
