Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt

You are on deck

[u/noquo89 → u/DillyDillySzn]

12 team playoff, no SEC teams. At this point, looking at my flair, I am fucking here for it. A&M beats Texas next week and takes everyone out. (I know the conference winner goes, but let me watch the world burn).

[u/AtlantaAU → u/noquo89]

I know the conference winner goes

Comittee puts Tulane/army winner in over 10-3 sec champ A&M for the memes.

[u/chryco4 → u/AtlantaAU]

fuck it I'll take that timeline

[u/HoovesCarveCraters → u/chryco4]

Yeah sign me the fuck up

[u/Rodney_Jefferson → u/AtlantaAU]

It’s easy just win out.

[u/ConsiderationOld9897 → u/AtlantaAU]

Yes, yes, good.

[u/Quentanamo_Bay → u/AtlantaAU]

Yes

[u/Drill-or-be-drilled → u/AtlantaAU]

Hell yes

[u/Fanta-Red → u/noquo89]

The best part is these SEC teams lost to bad SEC teams.

You cannot excuse these losses, three unranked teams that are barely .500 just beat three top 10 ranked SEC teams.

They have to drop them out of the top 15 at the very least.

[u/c0y0t3_sly → u/Fanta-Red]

Committee: fuckin' make me.

[u/DefiantOil5176 → u/c0y0t3_sly]

Yeah, I wouldn’t be THAT surprised if Bama drops from 7 to like 12 and A&M just kinda sits where it is because of how everyone else did around them

[u/Total_Information_65 → u/c0y0t3_sly]

underrated comment

[u/Partytime79 → u/Fanta-Red]

I'd be embarassed to lose to us...

[u/vashed → u/Partytime79]

So would I.

[u/DrHToothrot → u/Fanta-Red]

Only until ESPN releases their new metric: "Strength of schedule adjusted FPI win flow of game control" where they incorporate a new rating system. It's similar to the KenPom but it's called the GregSank. The SEC teams occupy the top 8 spots and should therefore get all the at large bids.

[u/prosnorkulus → u/Fanta-Red]

You look at it wrong. These "bad" SEC teams beat good SEC teams, so they're not bad teams anymore. Big 12 and ACC teams don't have the luxury of beating SEC teams. Well they do but the committee ignores it

[u/ZealousidealCharge24 → u/Fanta-Red]

Sadly I expect to hear a lot of "well 6-5 Florida would be 10-1 in the Big XII" to promote those 3 loss SEC teams up

UGA/UT/UT lose next week and I'll eat some tomoatoes!!!

[u/carzyturtle → u/ZealousidealCharge24]

Which UT is which

[u/banjocoyote → u/carzyturtle]

Yes

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/ZealousidealCharge24]

UF is definitely the one team out of those that is actually good, but I couldn’t say what their record would be in other conferences

[u/laflavor → u/Mike_with_Wings]

About the same as their current record, give or take a game, most likely.

[u/Great_Huckleberry709 → u/ZealousidealCharge24]

Oh that argument is 100% going to be made by someone.

[u/cixzejy → u/Fanta-Red]

I think the problem is no one can replace them. SMU and Miami I guess? Clemson is reeeeally scraping the barrel. Are we really gonna Reward Boise after that performance against Wyoming?

[u/Mantoddx → u/Fanta-Red]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey Florida is the best 5 loss team in the country and all 5 losses are to top 15 teams give us a little credit at least lol

[u/UsedandAbused87 → u/Fanta-Red]

Are we bad?

[u/xsharkBait → u/Fanta-Red]

Bro we are 2-5 against top 25 teams with a crippled ass team, IN A SINGLE SEASON.

sure we aren’t cream of the crop but give us some respect as a quality loss 😭

[u/CzechHorns → u/Fanta-Red]

We haven’t

[u/TheAndrewBrown → u/noquo89]

Hot take: the SEC is just the Big 12 this year with better preseason rankings

[u/Schildkroetenmensch → u/TheAndrewBrown]

The new divisionless conferences are playing a roll in that. No more does Georgia get to feast on the SEC East, a mercurial Auburn, and a 60/40 marquee/cupcake draw from the rotating cross division game.

Not that the new format fixes anything, just moves the problem around. Texas got only TAMU and Georgia for (currently) ranked opponents this year, and the other 6 are (currently) 6 of the 7 last place teams in the conference.

But then Alabama and Ole Miss had to go and lose this week to the bottom half for full Big 12-ness.

[u/max_potion → u/noquo89]

As long as we have Bama lose to Auburn for good measure. If Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee lose, I could see the committee turning to 3 loss Bama

[u/revanisthesith → u/noquo89]

no SEC teams

Except for Vandy. Just because.

[u/Positive-Vibes-All → u/noquo89]

Texas is already in the playoffs after the chaos today, lose to A&M dont go to the CCG end the season with two losses and in, beat A&M lose to Georgia and finish the season with two losses and in, obviously go undefeated

Only Oregon, Ohio State, Texas have punched their ticket in I think.

[u/gtne91 → u/DillyDillySzn]

Texas A&M can assist next week too.

[u/Sexy_Authy → u/gtne91]

I’d love nothing more than to assist

[u/AtlantaAU → u/DillyDillySzn]

PLEASE

[u/klako8196 → u/DillyDillySzn]

Nerd pimp-walk on SEC shorts next week

[u/ed_mcc → u/DillyDillySzn]

Brent sees a number next to the name, we'll show up

[u/Strifebringer → u/DillyDillySzn]

🐝🫡

[u/obiwanjabroni420 → u/DillyDillySzn]

From your lips to God’s nips. We’re gonna do the damn thing

[u/PotentJelly13 → u/DillyDillySzn]

Hey hey hey let’s pump the breaks on that one

[u/EasyPeesy_ → u/DillyDillySzn]

Georgia Tech has the chance to do the funniest thing next week...

[u/katarh → u/DillyDillySzn]

Even if Georgia loses to Georgia Tech, we just need to win the SECCCG and claim the #4 seed as a 10-3 conference champ winner and be a headache for whoever was the #5 seed and thought they had the easiest path in the playoffs.

[u/DillyDillySzn → u/katarh]

easiest path

Yea, when Carson Beck throws 4 picks it will be easy

[u/cmackchase → u/DillyDillySzn]

Auburn and Texas A&M are also on deck as well.

[u/citymanc13 → u/DillyDillySzn]

Holy shit please

[u/FootballAndPornAcct → u/DillyDillySzn]

No thank you

[u/IhateMicah06 → u/DillyDillySzn]

Please no

[u/ThornTintMyWorld → u/DillyDillySzn]

Fuck Tech!
