Let me first just say I don't think this will actually happen. But I thought it was interesting. I saw a post with a fairly realistic scenario that could land 3 SEC teams in the playoffs.
Here's what needs to happen:
1) 2 of Ohio State, Clemson and Notre Dame need to lose at least 1 game. Very realistic.
2) Georgia, Florida or Kentucky need to win-out through the regular-season. Very realistic that one of them will do that.
3) LSU needs to beat Alabama. Not likely, but definitely possible.
4) SEC East champ needs to beat LSU in SEC Title Game. Realistic if it's Georgia or Florida.
Then Georgia/Florida/Kentucky would be a 1-loss SEC Champ. Would definitely make the playoffs. Alabama would be 1-loss just like last year...would probably make it. And LSU would have 2-losses but they'd have beaten Alabama, Georgia, Miami, Auburn, Texas A&M, Mississippi State. Definitely possible it could get in over a 1-loss OSU, Clemson or Notre Dame.
I think in this scenario the committee probably wouldn't put in Alabama AND LSU, but it's not impossible.
What do y'all think about this scenario? I know everyone outside of the SEC would surely hate it.
