Both Mississippi schools in the playoffs?

[The Crimson King]

except SEC refs.......it's clear they've moved from AL to MS for this year

 

[Ironbreaker]

everybody can see Ole Miss losing to Auburn

But can everybody see ole miss losing to the Vols?

 

[bksballer89]

But can everybody see ole miss losing to the Vols?

or Arkansas?

 

[The Crimson King]

But can everybody see ole miss losing to the Vols?

oh, I see. I think Bama will be the one to beat MSU

 

[GoBlueNavyNuke]

Is Ole Miss vs Miss St. really going to be the game that decides the SEC?

 

[Runeman]

Given the way the rest of the conferences are playing, have a 4 team playoff comprised of the SEC West. Might have FSU in there, however, so far, they don, t look like a top 4 team. I would love to see the argument for any team other than FSU to be considered A TOP 4 team.

 

[craigk217]

I don't think it will happen. They will have already played each other, so if they both get put in the playoff, that pretty much says the regular season doesn't count. That's not the message the committee wants to send especially in the first year of playoffs. This is the same reason why FSU and ND can't both make the playoffs.

Not quite sure what you mean here ...

 

[craigk217]

Tell you what ... this sure gives new meaning to the Egg Bowl this year. Might be the best 'Bowl Game' of all! Who would have thought that???

Miss St looks like a machine right now and the way Ole Miss just flies to the ball, the Egg Bowl is gonna be an all-out war ... especially if both are undefeated going in! The SEC West is gonna be 'interesting' to say the least.

 

[TBBishop]

I'm thinking MSU loses at Bama and may lose next week at Kentucky. They then beat undefeated Ole Miss on the road ruining their perfect season or givign them their second loss. Neither team makes the playoffs.

 

[Codaxx]

It is still to early. I remember a top 10 Kentucky team after they beat LSU, than preceded to fall to irrelevance. They are looking good at the half way pt, but the finish is a long way away

 

[UNA Lion]

I'm thinking MSU loses at Bama ...

I don't share your optimism.

 

[TBBishop]

I don't share your optimism.

I can understand that. Bama isn't particularly good this year but I don't think MSU goes in there and wins.

why are teams in the SEC West top 4 teams?

 

[ericd7633]

If they do end up playing each other and both are 11-0 the loser and winner of that game should still be in the playoff. It would be dumb to penalize the loser when it would be clear they are the top 2 teams in the country.

This would be the scenario: You take the winner of this game, the loser of this game. And if FSU/ND runs the table you take them and then you take Baylor if they run the table. Pretty simple.

13-0/12-1 winner of the egg bowl(Yes even if they lose SECCG)
11-1 loser of the egg bowl
12-0 Baylor if unbeaten
12-0 FSU/ND if unbeaten

If Baylor loses, teams like OU(assuming they are the team that beats Baylor), Oregon, Arizona and TCU are back in the picture. MSU would also be in the discussion though I don't think they'd get picked over any of those other 1 loss teams in this scenario.

Show me a deserving team other than FSU.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

im wondering what happens if the SEC west champ loses in the SEC title game.

Don't look now, but the winner of the Cocktail Party suddenly becomes the front-runner for the East and could wind up 11-1. Probably won't, but could.

[7Samurai13]

Show me a deserving team other than FSU.

Why does Alabama deserve to be top 4, struggled against a pathetic Arkansas loss to Ole Miss and not one quality win.
Auburn got clown stomped by Ole Miss and their best win is a barely ranked Kansas St.
aTm sucks despite the constant SEC over hyping
LSU has two losses and needed a miracle to come back and beat a mediocre Wisconsin.
Arkansas has the worst coach in the SEC and way over paid to get him?

Auburn has a similar resume as Michigan State so I can see an argument there.

 

[The Authority]

the West runner up goes to the playoff

So basically what you are saying is that the runner up gets rewarded for losing the division by not having to play an extra game.

That is retarded.

They are not going to put two teams in that just played each other.

What if the winner of the egg bowl loses in the CCG . You still sending the loser of the division and punishing the winner of the division.
