Playoff with an SEC conference win?

[Lavalulu]

Is there a path where Texas can go to playoffs without having to compete for SEC championship? An intriguing thought…

[dfwHorn]

It is definitely possible, however the concern is if you lose to A&M there is a risk that you are potentially left out due to not having any statement wins, I think it’s unlikely a 10-2 Texas gets left out, however it’s by no means impossible.

[Nathan Larson]

Just win out🤘

[cmk4pres]

I think it's very possible we could be left out at 10-2. 
 

if ND wins out they are in and then you have to decide between Ole Miss, Tenn, UgA and aggy. Two of which would have beaten Texas..

 

I can't even think about losing to aggy, gives me hives

Crush Kentucky.

I concur, however no one seems to be taking the fact seriously that Army could win next week. That game has upset potential written all over it. Go look at the stats, those teams are closer to each other than most people think. Regardless, I think we will all be Army fans this coming week.

There are scenarios for a 10-2 Texas to either make the CFP or miss the CFP. I believe it is likely 1 or more 10-2 SEC teams won't make the CFP. 

A 10-2 Texas would have the same overall record as 4-6 other SEC teams.

The CFP will have 3 or 4 or 5 teams from the SEC.  TX, Bama, UGA, Ole Miss, aTm and TN are in contention. Two games to go.

11-1 Texas would expectedly be in the CFP even if they lost the SEC CG. Texas has only 1 path to the SEC CG. Texas must win out to go 11-1 and they are 100% in the SEC CG. If they go 10-2, Texas can't make the SEC CG based on tie-breakers from what I've read.

I think it all depends on what the committee values.  Because ole Miss would have the two worst losses of that bunch.  A bad Kentucky team and a bad lsu team.

While I get it, Army isn't winning that game

Yep and a dominating win over a team that dominated us. Just win and don't give them a reason

That's fine, I respect it. I don't agree and can't wait to see what the line is so I can see if I need to put some money on it or not. 😁😁🤘🤘

I believe it's ND -16.5

Yeah I saw that, and the u/o is like 44 or something like that. I'll definitely take Army and the points and take the over as well.

I'll take ND and the points for a 12 pack? I want to be wrong.

For a bit of objectivity, I try to listen to some national folks every week. To the extent that those guys are representative of a consensus, I don't think we make the playoff with a loss to A&M.  @Gerry Hamilton's sicko dream is realized - that's going to be an elimination game.

If Bama, Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee all go 10-2 and Texas loses to the Aggies, then I'd bet Texas is out. Tennessee probably out too in that scenario. Vols need Texas to win so the Aggies can't bump them.

[HookemTexas]

Well bama has really weak auburn and ou, Georgia has some fcs and Georgia tech.  Barring a major collapse they will both finish 10-2.

Bama is in the sec cg.  If Texas loses to atm, Georgia has the tie breaker over Texas.  Texas would lose the tiebreaker to atm when the committee looks to pick the remainders.  Because the rest of Texas’ schedule has turned out to be frauds, the strength of schedule hurts. Texas needs to win out, but the plus thing is that they control their own destiny.

Very tempting 😁😁

[Lavalulu]

Is Bama’s loss to Vandy considered a good loss then??

if so, then wouldn’t Texas’s loss to Georgia be considered a good loss too?

Is this a situation where the CFB committee would look at resume schedules if Texas loses to ATM?

[Gerry Hamilton]

I really think all of this comes down to USC beating Notre Dame next weekend. 

If ND takes a second loss, five SEC teams will get in IMO

 

The craziest SEC scenario is now in play with Georgia beating Tennessee last weekend. Six 10-2 teams headed into SEC Championship Game if Texas A&M wins at Auburn this weekend and in CS November 30:

Georgia

Ole Miss

Alabama

Texas

Texas A&M

Tennessee
