I don't have much confidence in AU or Arkansas beating OM. Maybe Miss St. Best chance would be LSU IMO..Nah.....all 4 have a shot at them. A&M was horrible today.

we really need these pretender teams (Memphis, Houston, and Temple) to lose a game. I fear the committee will let one of those teams in over a one loss Alabama
Ole Miss will start to wear down. They are running through a gauntlet right now.
I just don't trust the committee.In a scenario where Ole Miss wins out? Maybe, but not if we win the SEC
I just don't trust the committee.
That committee is supposed to take excuses like 'key injured players' and other arbitrary data into account.They were good to us last year. I think there is enough respect for our team if we win the SEC with one loss.
I agree. No CCG and your conference has one, you ain't going to the playoffs. I disagree completely, but the whole playoff system we have now was partially born from 2011 and a lot of the national feeling that we did not deserve to be in New Orleans in the first place.Never forget they can do anything they want. If you don't win your conference, you are not in. I am convinced of that.

I tend to agree with that, but how long after that do programs start clamoring for it to go to 12 or 16 teams? At some point you have to draw the line and say this is enough. This is not basketball.I have a feeling we move to 8 teams in the future. That is be best option...5 conference champions and then 3 wild card teams.
I just don't trust the committee.
Why don't you guys trust the committee? Alabama had a loss last year and was the #1 seed in the playoffs - ahead of an undefeated conference champion..My thoughts? If Alabama does win out and doesn't make the SECCG, I think it will have to do with how things play out in the other conferences. If Clemson wins out, they are in. If Stanford wins out, even with one loss, they are in. Michigan State/Ohio State looms large. What if OSU beats MSU in a close game then loses to UM or in their championship game? Then there is the whole Baylor/TCU thing to sort through.
One thing I feel for certain. The 4th slot, if there is a one loss conference champion and a one loss Bama that didn't play in a championship game, the conference champion will get the nod. The committee has said that "being a conference champion" will weigh heavily in their decision.
And after the 2011 LSU-Bama rematch where Alabama won the BCS championship and last year with the whining by TCU and Baylor about being left out, I think they will look for a reason to exclude us.
So no...I don't trust the committee either.
