Playoff What Ifs - SEC Teams
Posted on 11/9/26 at 7:41 am

This is a what if or could happen topic so save the “quit dreaming” comments.
There’s a good chance that the SEC only has 2 teams with 2 or fewer losses at end of season. Georgia at 11-1 and Alabama at 10-2 , will most likely play in SEC championship game. Georgia wins that so Bama at 10-3.
If LSU can somehow win out, that puts LSU at 9-3 along with Texas & Tennessee if they win their games outside of LSU. Missouri and Kentucky play each other, and Kentucky plays Florida & Louisville (corrected) . South Carolina is at 3 losses already, so does Ole Miss.
It could be that there’s 4 SEC teams in the playoff - 12-1 Georgia, 10-3 Bama, then 2 other teams with 3 losses. I say they put Texas and LSU in if that’s the case. Ratings matter. I’ll hang up and listen.

Do not assume a win for Bama in the iron bowl.
That game is always close. And bama plays up and down to their competition.
Crazier things could happen.

Good point. Would be great if Auburn pulls it off. Kentucky could realistically lose to Missouri, and they definitely should lose to Georgia so they’ll be at 4 losses. They also play Louisville.

Please stop saying "If they win out".
They have not beaten 1 good team yet this year.

LSU is not going to the playoffs. They will end up 7-5 after what I saw this weekend. This team is all over the place. No leaders or team chemistry and this Hollywood walk bullshite has got to go. TX has a stingy defense and the offense is finally coming together. TN will be a loss. ARK a win, but who knows. That is away and at home. This year is a wash. MBB is on the table. Fk football.

People here can’t understand the concept of a hypothetical.

Kentucky won't make it with another loss, and I do think they take another.
Ole Miss is probably dead but they should win out and be at 9-3 with a head to head win over LSU
Texas with their wins doesn't have to win in BR, committee will give them credit for beating OSU with Sayin healthy
Tennessee even with an LSU loss has wins over Bama and UK
ratings do matter but the committee put SMU in over Bama in '24. LSU needs chaos or it aint happening

Ole Miss prolly going to lose to OU this weekend. Jason Witten called a pretty good game for them this past weekend.

you sound like a desperate fat chick tryna get with the dude of her dreams. Quit living in this fantasy land, we aren't making playoffs dog we just got blew out at home.

OK I'll play...Even though I have no faith that they will beat either of the UT's.
Texas with 3 losses will get in before LSU. They have some quality wins, one being OSU at full strength.
UK could drop 1 more easily and have 3 losses.....they will get in because they beat LSU.
Tenn getting in after losing to LSU could be a questionable. LSU would have 2 quality wins in UT and Tenn. I would argue that Tenn's wins are more impressive with UK and Bama. We lost to both.
We could probably get in over OM, they only beat 1 ranked team (LSU) and we would have the 2 recent wins against ranked teams.
So we have
UGA
Bama
Texas
UK
Tenn or LSU
If they let 5 SEC teams in, we might would squeak by. But there would be a lot of complaining if they let in 3x 3 loss SEC teams.

Iron bowl is only competitive at Jordan hare . Auburn routinely gets dominated in Tuscaloosa

Exactly, the point of a post is something to talk about, and hypotheticals are at least half way interesting or fun discussions. What else do we have at this point? LSU won a NC in a hypothetical scenario in 2007. The point of the discussion is “hey this is not a strong possibility, but if these things happen ….”

It has been a crazy football season to date. Nothing is guaranteed from here on out. Anyone can lose on any given Saturday.

Texas doesn’t get in over LSU if LSU beats Texas and Tenn. And Aggy can definitely beat Texas.
Ole Miss is the one tricky one. But hopefully they lose to Oklahoma.
Kentucky will drop 2 of their next 3.
Beat Texas and Tenn and jump ahead of them.

Kentucky and Missouri could likely end up with 4 losses. Obviously, they play each other, a Kentucky win puts Missouri at 4. Kentucky loses to UGA and that gives them 3, and they still play Florida and Louisville.
At the end of it all it could be that looking at head to head only goes in circles. Tennessee who beat Alabama, who beat LSU, who beat Texas, who beat Tennessee, who beat Kentucky who beat LSU, who beat Auburn who beat Georgia who beat Ole Miss who beat LSU and so on

Kentucky doesn’t play Georgia. South Carolina does.
Kentucky has Florida (who owns them much like Bama owns us), at Missouri, and Louisville (who should’ve beat Ole Miss)

Couldn't 5 SEC teams make it in?
Locks (non-SEC)
BIG 10 - 2
ACC - 1
BIG 12 - 1
G5 highest rank - 1
Notre Dame - 1
Open
Spots left: 6
SEC could get 5 of those 6 spots left imo. Most likely is BIG 10 grabs 1/6 for a third team. I don't see the BIG 12 or ACC getting a second team.
