SECCG Tiebreaker scenario mess

[BamaFanatJSU]

Here's my question (wishful thinking as it assumes wins against the Barn and whoever else is in the SECCG):

With the new seeding model NOT guaranteeing the top 4 seeds to 4 conference champions, does a 2-loss SEC Champion Alabama still get one of the top 4 seeds (and the bye plus the closer bowl assignment at the Sugar Bowl) over multiple non-conference champions with only one loss like UGA/A&M, Ole Miss, IU/OSU, and Oregon?

We're in after this week as long as both TN and Vandy don't both lose.

Are you saying that if Tennessee and Vandy win this upcoming weekend then we are in the SEC championship game no matter what the Iron Bowl outcome is?

Ole Miss isn't losing to Mississippi St. Texas A&M is not losing to Texas. Case closed.

Ole Miss/Most likely Georgia VS aTm will be in the SECCG! Take it to the bank. We lost our chance deservedly Saturday.

I guess it will depend on how the remaining games look. Does Bama look dominate against Auburn and A&M or do we squeak out some ugly wins? Is the OSU vs IU title game a great thriller? Does Texas Tech blow everyone out the rest of the way? There are lots of scenarios that would keep us out of the top 4 even as SEC Champs.

Take it to the bank? I think Ole Miss needs a lot of help to get to the SEC title game.

LOL!!! All they have to do is beat Miss St. Edit...Georgia probably gets in over Ole Miss.

Another POV....the way the committee ranks the teams and who plays, it may be more advantageous NOT to be in the SECCG and get a lower seed, play the first week rather than sit for a month and then play in the playoffs...last year all 4 top seeds lost in their first CFP game after the layoff....winning the SEC would be great though

Not even close to correct.

Vandy beats Kentucky......then we beat Auburn.....Alabama goes to Atlanta.

So you are already conceding a loss to the Barn or you are assuming that Vandy will lose to Kentucky.

LOL...I don't know anymore. I hope we beat Auburn obviously, but seeing the offense implode more every week, my confidence isn't high.

By reading this, I assume you think we lose to the Barn? If we win the next two games, there is a very slim chance that we DON'T make the SEC Championship game.

WRONG AGAIN!!! Read how the tie breaker works and then come back a correct all you comments. If Bama wins out, they have the best odds to make the SEC Championship game. Take it to the bank! Fact!

OM and A&M neither one can afford to take their rival lightly in any way. First of all Texas has A&M’s number about like we have Georgia’s. Second, MSU is greatly improved this year and has a history of making things difficult on OM as an underdog.

I don't get it. Georgia has one loss, same as us, and we beat them head-to-head. Our other loss was FSU.

So why would they be put ahead of us?

The Aggies will go down against the Horns. The pressure of maintaining an undefeated regular season combined with the SEC Championship game looming the following week will be too much for the Aggies to overcome.

Because of one loss overall versus two and ranked higher...

I remember when it was so simple, so simple that we would make fun the Big Twelve and others for their complicated mess. Wow, now we have copied them. The SEC has improved it worse. If I remember it was the third or fourth step was the highest ranked in the BCS poll. That settled it. We should still do that. K.I.S.S.

THe whole point of this nonsense is to keep College Football a National and not a Regional (SEC) game.
