The playoff committee might well have an SEC problem. At the present time it is mathematically possible that the SEC has seven two loss teams. In the SEC it is possible for aTM, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Ole Miss and Alabama to all be two loss teams. In the BIG10 it looks like PennState, Indiana, Ohio State and Oregon will probably all have two losses or less.
Notre Dame is in, without playing another decent team. A non power five team is in. An ACC and BIG 12 team are in. In short that means there are possibly seven teams for four spots, all having legitimate arguments. Of course South Carolina could eliminate Missouri this weekend and Tennessee could eliminate Georgia, Texas could eliminate aTm and there would be no problem; however ther could be seven two loss SEC teams, with two playing in the SECCG and who knows how that tie breaker would work.
Now, exactly what happens if Indiana beats Ohio State? What happens if BYU and Miami do not win the Big 12 and ACC? If you are looking for the best 12, it is not going to happen.
I feel that I must now do the unthinkable. I must pull for Texas and Tennessee to win out and meet in the SECCG. Let me set the record straight, I will pull for the ayatollah before I pull for Tennessee.
In the mean time we have Mercer, Oklahoma and the Barn to beat or nothing matters.
