This demonstrates the awe & respect the committee has for the SEC. Two 2-loss SEC teams in the Top Ten and a 3 loss SEC team at #14, plus 2 teams in the The Four. Huge respect for the conference.


 #+ #+ #+ #+ #+

Nice to see but until mid-November it is meaningless...

We all know that #14 has no business being there.   :lol2:

They will be removed in 2 weeks.  :lol:

Looks like all my bi**hing about the committee last week paid off.  8)

I am not worried about the rankings until after the AU game.

Keep it up, and they might just award us the title without playing another game!  :lol2:

I'm a little shocked.  Didn't think they'd put us #1 ahead of an undefeated team.

If this final 4 holds, does it mean we play MSU again in the first playoff game?  Is that good or bad?

When that final Ranking comes out after the SEC Championship has been played and hopefully we were the winner's none of this matters!! If we are indeed #1 at that point then I fully expect to be able to win the Championship at that point because of the level of play that will have been turned in to get to that spot.

It is what it is!! Should not matter who we have to play.

 :lol:

I still thinks MSU is very deserving of being #4 unless somebody dares to play them and take it away. Right now, I do not know anyone that can beat them except us. It has been proven so far. RTR!

I would hope if things stand the committee doesn't leave Bama and MSU at 1 and 4.  If there's a rematch it should be in the championship, not the semi-final.

Nope, they don't want an SEC National Championship Game.


 ;)

Ironic that Mississippi State now has an easier path to the playoffs than Alabama.

 :tinfoil:

We can still hope that Florida can somehow step up and beat FSU (a very real possibility IMO) which would put them out of the top 4 and move Miss State up to either 2 or 3.  That would put Bama and Miss St in a possible rematch for the championship as long as both win out convincingly...  It is tough to beat a good team two times in one season.  Bama has done that before but I really don't look forward to that opportunity again, especially this year...

1. I agree.  Bama is MUCH better off playing a non-SEC team than playing MSU again.

2. MSU has an easier schedule than Alabama, but they still have to sit and hope for a position among the 4.  But I think they get left out unless FSU, Oregon, Alabama, or Ohio State lose.

3. Next big issue will be whether Alabama gets in with a loss to UGA.  And does UGA get in, MSU jump up, or what!  Yes, I know Mizzou must lose first...

I have a feeling Mizzou loses at Tennessee.  A nightmare scenario for Bama (and the selection committee) develops if Bama were to lose to UGA in the SECCG.  Would Bama be punished for winning the division while MSU slides in despite finishing second?

What is this thing you speak of, "loosing?"    :-\

Bama isn't going to lose again this season.  Fans need their championship fix... it has been too long.   :lol2:

But in all seriousness, win and in, lose and out, probably.  In the BCS era, 2003 Oklahoma lost its conference championship game but still made the BCSCG.  In 2001, Nebraska made it to the BCSCG despite not winning their conference division and not making it to the Big12 Championship game.  (Big12 must have rigged the computers in those days).  And or course Bama deservedly made it into the BCSCG in 2011 without making the SECCG.  When OK made it in 2003, the conference championship was their only loss.  I don't think a 2-loss team makes the playoffs this year, with so many 1-loss teams out there.

I thought Tenn could beat Missouri at Knoxville until 2 of UCHEAT's key players got suspended :dunno:

I don't think Mizzou loses to UT or Arky. I think we crush the barn and then curb stomp Mizzou in the SECCG, on our way to #16.

You know I think we will answer all questioning because we will win out. I also think MSU will win out and an Oregon or FSU blooper will happen and see what the group does. I too would like to see that explosive all SEC NCG. If we have to meet in playoffs with MSU that will be the NCG winner who wins it. JMHO. RTR!
