Three wins by home teams send UGA to Atlanta

Anything is possible this crazy season but Texas losing to A&M is the only one of those games that wouldn't surprise me.

I think… think… UF can beat Ole Miss.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Auburn beat A&M, but Florida would need a lot to go right to beat OM.

The way I see it, there are 3 outcomes.

1)Play in the SECCG, win the game, get a bye in the first round, play 3 post-season games, the same number as everybody else who missed their conference championship games, and play a tougher, more physical opponent in the SECCG than we would have in the 1st round of the playoffs. Given how screwy the seedings are, there's absolutely no assurance that we end up with an easier post-season schedule by playing and winning the SECCG.

2)Play in the SECCG, lose, don't get a bye, end up playing 4 post-season games, incur more injuries than teams that play only 3 post-season games, with less time to heal and gameplan for the playoffs.

or my preference is

3) Don't play in the SECCG. Get healthy, gameplan for likely playoff opponents. More time to rest, heal, etc

In other words, this playoff system is bullshite and making it to the SECCG actually REDUCES your chances of winning a national championship.

Missing the SECCG would be all fun and games until we ended up having to play on the road against Ole Miss again in the first round. Or at Ohio State.

We could play Texas A&M too if A&M wins out and Auburn beats Alabama in the Iron Bowl

I am just not sure what I want to happen. Ideally, we win out and teams ahead of us lose so we host opening round. If we don't host, I think I would rather play in the SEC CG with a chance at a bye...only downside, coooould be a if we lost, we drop out of the playoffs as a 3 loss team. That would be nuts for the committee to do though

Considering all of the issues this team has had on offense, I'm not sure we are capable of winning a NC but I do think we could win a rematch with Bama.
As such, I am hoping for the improbable and we get into the SECCG vs Alabama.
Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, beating Alabama in the SECCG would make for a highly successful season and probably Kirby's best coaching job to date all things considered: our brutal schedule, injuries, etc.

If beating Alabama is your big goal, that's fine. It's not UGA or Kirby Smart's ultimate goal.

Actually, I’d prefer Ole Miss & BYU to lose this weekend. I’d like A&M to beat Texas. Bye bye Texas & Ole Miss. No playoffs and we most likely host getting a few weeks to heal up.
