Our chances of getting to the CFP at 10-2 are tenuous at best

10-2 Texas is in. This is a team that has been #1 and viewed as a top 10 at worst team in the country. 

Our ranking right now has us over TAMU, meaning AP voters think we’re better. Do you still think they’ll think we’re better if we lose the head to head? For the integrity of the game, I hope not. 
 

If Texas loses to TAMU and Bama wins out, Bama will be the more impressive 2 loss team.

The margin of the Tennessee/UGA game will be important. If Tennessee loses less ugly to UGA, they will have the Bama win and arguably still a better resume than Texas (with a  TAMU loss). Tennessee also has the opportunity to cap the season with a win over Vandy. 
 

So with 11-1 UGA, 11-1 TAMU, 10-2 Texas/Bama/Tenn, the top 4 out of the SEC will arguably be the 4 other than Texas.

Alabama would get in on the merit of their resume + media love/respect based on Bama. Tennessee then holds a trump card of “if Bama is in, we should be in”. Similar to what we had last season.
