LSU has the strongest schedule compared to UGA

So who benefits from an LSU win out? LSU and UT.
UGA only had two ranked opponents in their schedule, UT and Oregon, and Oregon has a second loss to a 2 loss Washington.
UT had 6 ranked opponents and lost to the No 1 ranked team.
LSU had 3 ranked opponents and lost to the then No 1 UT and the now No 19 FSU.
Results mean more as you progress through a season because you are expected to improve and be a better team. So LSUs FSU loss counts less and UGAs Oregon win count less.
Therefor, it is clear that the loser of the SECC is in third consideration for the playoffs from the SEC.

Georgia will be in win or lose

I’m really not following your comparison between Georgia and Tennessee. I just know it’s not accurate. After the SECCG, they both will have played LSU, the SEC East, and a mediocre ACC team. The only difference between the two will be that Tennessee played Alabama and Georgia played Oregon. Their schedule strength will be very comparable.

Agree and disagree.
It’s going to be a clusterfrick. LSU wins out, GA stood at #1 in CFP rankings all weeks except 1, then took it back over from the then #1 ranked team right after the week they got bumped. Tenn def has the most impressive SOS, and their only loss being to the #1 ranked team along with 5 wins over ranked opponents I agree SHOULD vault them. In this scenario LSU would then have 3 top 10 wins and two top 25 losses (based on rankings now). GA def has the least impressive actually of the 3 schools.
We all know that politics and WHO THEY wanna see in it plays a huge role. I just don’t see them bumping GA down below Tenn, being GA only loss would be to a top 6 ranked team.
You’ll hear arguments even for GA and Tenn to both make it to even if LSU wins out bc of the merit they don’t wanna drop GA out completely and they’ll argue Tenn beat the brakes off us at our house, and our argument is the most wins vs top 10 opponents and an SEC championship to boast with it.
Personally….if we win out…. LSU and GA make it and Tenn gets left out. Winner of Mich/Ohio St makes it and the other gets left out, and TCU only if they win out.
LSU winning out, TCU losing will throw it into a complete shitshow. This is where an expanded playoff would benefit college football

Alabama is not comparable to Oregon and the result against LSU is a win for UT and a loss for UGA. So UGA is third.

So Georgia beating Tennessee has no bearing on the comparison? They would both be 1-1 against LSU and head-to-head, so that’s a wash. Even if you think Alabama is better than Oregon, Georgia won 49-3 while Tennessee won 52-49.

If Georgia loses Saturday, they will not get into the playoffs with a loss to LSU. I believe it will be
1. Michigan
2. Tennessee
3. Georgia
4. LSU

Oregon is a way lesser team than Alabama...if we want to add the score factor UGA almost lost to Missouri and were not dominant against Kent State like they shoud have been. Both teams havent been ranked the whole season.

UT has 3 ranked opponents not 6. Ranking at the time of the matchup is utter garbage. Are you saying A&M should count as a ranked opponent for anyone?
Tennessee has played LSU, UGA and Bama. 3.
LSU has played FSU, UT, Bama, Ole Miss, and will play UGA. That is 5.
UGA has Oregon and UT. That’s it. 2.
In the end, stop trying to prop up UT who has literally beaten two good teams.

You would have missed your shot if you lose the extra game....UT will get their chance because they would have the better resume at that point.

What kind of dumbass logic is this? Tennessee missed their shot by losing to us. Tennessee has as many currently ranked wins as UGA. If LSU wins, Tennessee is out

Ummm. One team won the division while the other didn’t. UGA would have same number of top 10 wins as UT and one more overall win, plus head to head.
If UT makes it over UGA who would be punished for going to the championship game then the playoff committee is on crack.
Whether or not you like it, winning a division should mean something and more so your conference.

Huh? You're contradicting yourself.
UGA beat only one "good team" then. This means if UGA looses to LSU then no second "good team" win

Oregon is not a top 10 team anymore.
Winning a division is just an accumulation of record; doesnt add anything by itself. Winning a conference title game is a higher stake game.

Just stop it... Georgia is the best team in the nation, and will be heavy favorites, as they should be. To win, we will have to play mistake free ball and get lucky at the right time. We need our best game, not that crap we rolled out at Arkansas.

UT has better ranked wins than UGA. UGA gets the first extra shot because u beat UT. i dont think it buys you a second shot cause UT beat LSU.
