Very likely they would. Very.I think that Alabama and Georgia will both be undefeated and meet in the SECCG. If it plays out this way, I wonder if the loser will be allowed into the field of four.

And that year could have seen 3 get in. Remember Ark. that year? If they are "clearly" the best two teams I think it won't matter. Then again I'm taking the sel. Committee at their word...probably not a good idea.I doubt that will happen. After all, 2011 is the exact reason we have the playoff in the first place.
If one was left out it would show the conference championship games to be harmful to the conferences in the new system. Interesting scenario.Very likely they would. Very.
Idk. It also matters "when" you lose. If all the other playoff possibilities have just 1 loss (especially if one team had 2 losses) I could see it happening MAYBE.If one was left out it would show the conference championship games to be harmful to the conferences in the new system. Interesting scenario.
I have to agree with colby on this. I would like to believe that the selection committee would select the top 4 teams. IMO the human rankings should only account for a percentage of the vote with a larger percentage being derived from computer generated rankings, but then again, no one asked me.I doubt that will happen. After all, 2011 is the exact reason we have the playoff in the first place.
My impression was that this whole playoff deal was basically put in place to avoid that from happening. In a roundabout way.I think that Alabama and Georgia will both be undefeated and meet in the SECCG. If it plays out this way, I wonder if the loser will be allowed into the field of four.
Primary objective is to avoid an all SEC NCG. That will ALWAYS be achieved. In the rare instances that two SEC teams are selected, they will ALWAYS be seeded 1-4 or 2-3 in order to achieve that objective.My impression was that this whole playoff deal was basically put in place to avoid that from happening.

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I was getting at, in a roundabout way. :smile:Primary objective is to avoid an all SEC NCG. That will ALWAYS be achieved. In the rare instances that two SEC teams are selected, they will ALWAYS be seeded 1-4 or 2-3 in order to achieve that objective.
Same will hold true for any conference because if they didn't it would set a precedent to allow it for the SEC.
Texas A&M and Florida obsolete this year?East:
South Carolina (6-2) *wins head-to-head over Georgia
Georgia (6-2)
Vanderbilt (3-5)
Mizzou (3-5)
Tennessee (2-6)
Kentucky (0-8)
West
Alabama (8-0)
Auburn (7-1)
Ole Miss (6-2)
LSU (4-4)
Mississippi State (3-5)
Arkansas (0-8)
Tough to say on several of these. I do think Vanderbilt is going to win a game they shouldn't. Arkansas is going to have a miserable season. South Carolina wins the East. The West comes down to the Iron Bowl. I think Ole Miss surprises some teams.
I won't even try to pick players of the year. But, I think Todd Gurley, TJ Yeldon, and Nick Marshall are your three candidates.
Freshman of the year is Fournette.
