In the same season.

Yeah, I'm getting WWAAAAAYYYYY ahead of things, but that just hit me earlier.

Fortunately we get the first matchups with each at home. Likely can afford to lose to UGA, but we cannot lose to Bama (the first time) if we want to make a playoff.

LSU will have to win the SECW and likely rematch UGA in the SECCG in Atlanta.

LSU would have to win that game for the right to a possible rematch with the SEC third place team, Bama, in the playoff.

Damn. That's tough.

This is extremely UNLIKELY.

If LSU runs the table, they’re the only SEC playoff team. The CFP will NOT put two SEC teams in again. No way no how.

Big10 champ
Sec champ
Big12 or Pac12 champ
ACC champ

That’s the formula period.

Bama would have the benefit once again if not playing in the SEC Championship game AGAIN....

If that happens, then we have a worse post season system than before the CFP.

Most likely scenario to get to the SECCG, IMO. Lose to Georgia in the regular season, but win the West outright, or in a three way tie breaker. Beat Georgia in the rematch in the SECCG. Go to playoff.

Bama is in. Nothing will change that.

I think beating Georgia and a loss to Bama might be enough. Our schedule is stronger than both and if we beat Georgia, they will not have an argument head to head or on basis of schedule.

Really easy to get in if that’s our only loss and Oklahoma and Ohio State slip up. Clemson looks like they will slip up too.

We are more likely to get in the Bama way. Finish 11-1 ( loss to Bama), avoid rematch with UGA in SECCG and hope Bama wins SEC. We manage to get 3 or 4 slot in playoff.

What really sucks is that we could beat the gumps, then lose the SEC championship game and watch the Tuscaloosa Tards make the playoffs.

the Bama obsession is very strong in this thread.

We're off to a heck of a start, but let's all take a deep breath and stop worrying about Bama or playoff committee conspiracies.

9 more games to go. Just keep winning.

An AU victory in the Iron Bowl would really improve this scenario.

I disagree. We could lose to Georgia and still make the playoffs with our schedule.

We’ve won three goddamned games and still have probably the toughest schedule in the nation. Just hold on.
