9/15/2024 AP Poll Texas #1

Okay would it be wrong for me to want to win the SEC this year more than a national championship? Am I SEC ready? I think that’s the ultimate thumb in the eye of everyone in the SEc - especially aggy.

I don't care about the SEC Championship Game. Don't need to win it to be in it!

Besides a few SEC teams have gone on to win it all without winning the SEC and no one questioned their legitimacy as national champions.
 
Ha! We have played and beaten Bye twice this season and have moved up a spot each time! We should play Bye more often.
 
If Texas and Ga win out seems like they face each other in the SEC championship game.

Edit: I forgot about LSU but they ain’t going to win out.
 
Unless ESPN rigs it, possibility that Texas/Georgia could play three times:

1) In Austin
2) In Atlanta
3) Wherever the National Championship Game is played

I can hear the screams now from the rust belt and left coast

Seems like Texas would win the tiebreaker over LSU since presumably Texas beats aggy and aggy beat LSU.
 
If we win out, including on November 30th, I will be thrilled. If we win out and don’t make the SEC championship, I might actually be happier.

Qualifying for the SEC championship means that we would have to win 4 games total to win a natty. That’s if we win the championship game. If we lose the championship game, our path is five games, including the championship game.

Not qualifying for the SEC championship also means that we would need to win 4 games to win a natty.

I’ll take the rest from November 30th to around December 20th and a home game — against probably the 12th seed, versus even winning the SEC championship.

Actually it would be funny if we won the SEC and half our team declares for the nfl and we decline the CFP saying winning the SEC is more important.

Texas and Georgia are more likely to face each other in the Semi-Final than the National Championship. If the current AP rankings were transferred to the 12-team College football playoff, then the top four seeds would go to:

1) Oregon
2) Georgia
3) Miami
4) BYU

Then the next 2 would be:
5) Ohio State
6) Texas

Texas would play the 10th seed in the first round, then Miami in the quarter-finals, then Georgia in the semi-finals, and then Oregon in the championship game (assuming Georgia and Oregon win out).

Texas is going to finish 11-1 and be ranked behind a B12 team because the SEC sucks.

I think the committee will need to change how they set up the playoffs. Regardless of the conference championship status, you can’t have teams like BYU — no offense to them — and perhaps SMU/Miami/Clemson, seeded higher than two or three 2 loss SEC teams that few would argue are not superior.

Based on the season so far, would anyone seed an ACC team or a Big 12 team above, for example, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, or Mississippi?

If they don’t change this inaccurate seeding nuance, I suspect that the SEC in particular will make a big issue of it. They should.

If we only had a mechanism where we could rank the teams and then put them in a bracket based on how they were ranked.
