I will begin by giving my assessment of what the committee will look for in order of presumed preference of picking the spots and looking at the remaining teams schedules. 1. Undefeated SEC Champion 5. One Loss SEC Champion 9. Two Loss SEC Champion 12. One Loss SEC Team 2. Undefeated Big Ten Champion 7. One Loss Big Ten Champion 3. Undefeated ACC Champion 8. One Loss ACC Champion 4. Undefeated Pac 12 Champion 10. One Loss Pac 12 Champion 6. Undefeated Big 12 Champion 11. One Loss Big 12 Champion Assuming The Big Ten and the ACC Champions come out with one or less loss, they would take two spots. That leaves a spot for an undefeated Pac 12 or Big 12 team. With a one loss champion in either conference, the debate would certainly be between Auburn and that team with Auburn getting the edge. So Auburn will not only be fighting with Texas A&M and Alabama for a spot to play for the SEC Championship, but also Baylor, West Virginia, Washington and Utah for a spot in the playoffs .

WinningTradition 95 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 If Auburn wins out with 2 losses and wins the SEC we will not be left out of the playoffs. No way that happens. Some one loss teams will be pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It would've helped substantially if OM was still ranked. Hopefully Georgia picks their self up from the ground and find a way to put some number by their name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2 loss team will not go before a 1 loss team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msza 228 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We can definitely make the playoffs. The difference now is that there is a human committee that can account for things like improvement throughout the year. If we make it clear we are one of the top 4 teams in the country at the end of the year, we'll be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I will be happy for us to win a SEC championship and a good top bowl game. We will be ready for next year to make the run for the NC. I am sure if we could redo the first two games we would be undefeated but there are no do overs. So lets get a SEC ring and a good starting point for next year. This team is young and we have a lot of freshmen making their mark already. We should be ready for a long stretch.

icanthearyou 4,464 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Like it or not, UA is widely considered the best team in college football by a wide margin and, rightfully so. No matter what happens, if we win all of our remaining games, we ARE the best team in college football and, the SEC west IS the toughest league in college football. At the same time, if there is no SEC Championship, no National Championship to show for it, it is our fault. We weren't prepared at the beginning of the season. More importantly though, there is something within this realization about trophies. Whether they are championship trophies or participation trophies. Sometimes, they don't mean as much, or as little, as what we believe they do. Regardless of what happens, this team has my respect. They didn't quit. They continue to work and get better. So, special mention to Cox and Cowart. Both have been called out by name this season. Both played well yesterday. That did not simply come from opportunity. It came from effort and attitude.

AlaskanFAN 1,666 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I feel a undefeated Michigan, Washington and Clemson take 3 playoff slots. The final spot will be a toss up. It will come down to one of- bama, aTm, Auburn, Florida or Baylor, West Virginia, or Oklahoma. There are to many "IF's" for the last slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareagle13 88 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 So work with me for a second here. There is a potential scenario that could occur going into the last weekend of the year. If a rejuvenated LSU takes down Bama at home, and bama, auburn, and tamu win out, then the last week would feature 6-1 Auburn versus 6-1 bama, and 6-1 LSU versus 6-1 TAMU. If that were to happen each combination of wins would generate a different SEC west champion. AU and LSU win, auburn is in AU and TAMU win, TAMU is in Bama and LSU win, LSU is in BAMA and TAMU win, Bama is in If that were to unfold, the final weekend of the regular season could be the most chaotically impactful final weekend in the history of the SEC. Part of me wants to see it happen, but another part of me wishes that our fate wouldn't rely on another team losing, so preferably TAMU could come in at 5-2 but i don't see their second loss until possibly LSU.
