Would Florida go to the playoff if they won the SEC title?

I don't drink, and it's way too early for . Every P5 team in the entire country would have to have at least 1 loss for any 2 loss team to ever be considered for a playoff birth. It would take a very weird season for that to happen.

its never too early to smoke and if all the schools nutted up and stopped scheduling p5 and FCS there’s plenty of scenarios for 2 loss teams to get in

+1 we need 2 loss teams with tough schedules instead of cup cake schedule teams

Please do.

Rules seem to be changing rapidly around here.

I was going to anyway. Idiot.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ox is getting soft. Has he forgotten what rum drunk Donk looks like on Saturday? Today is no different than any other fall Saturday.

He is in a bad mood with Barn losing.

You are in a bad mood all the time no matter what. You are insufferable. You need a break.

He’s had two this fall - what makes you think it’ll help this time?

I would have given you a thumbs up.

Dickhead, it doesn't say 07 on the fvkking stadium. It was the 06 season and the 06 Sugar Bowl.

Are you new to football?

The stadium is technically wrong.

BTW, we didn’t go to the ‘07 Sugar. LSU did. We were in the desert playing Ohio State.

The SEC champ gets in, even with two losses. If UGA were to lose to A&M and beat an unbeaten LSU in ATL, they'd get the 4 slot.

I'm not saying we should be in. We lost to #1 and #4 ( both winnable). But who the F has Clemson played? What's the highest rated team they've played? They literally played ucf's schedule

Even though my post was dumb and probably 1 in a million chance happening. This is exactly what I was getting at. Technically it's supposed to be 4 best teams but in reality it's 4 teams with one or 0 losses which is dictated by how easy their schedule is and conferences they are in.

And this is exactly why I keep saying it's ridiculous to want to make our schedules even tougher than they already are. 2 losses basically ensures you won't make it to the play-offs. Easy schedules won't keep an undefeated P5 team from the playoffs, or like an SEC team with only 1 loss. 2 losses and you're out unless something really weird happens. I see no advantage to increasing the difficulty of our already tough SEC schedule. I don't care if we never travel beyond Mizzou and Arky on the odd years. The SEC is tough enough to get an undefeated team to the play-offs, or even a 1 loss SEC champ. Other conferences don't have that same schedule difficulty without scheduling games outside their conference. They need us way more than we need them.

I’m just making a guess here but I bet they’re forecasting an 8 team playoff or some rule change that will necessitate a more robust, non-FCS laden schedule. Nothing to prove that but I think it’s a pretty safe bet.

I don't think I've ever witnessed a top 10 where any of the 6-10 would stand a chance against the top 3 or 4. There's generally a pretty steep drop-off after the top 2-3 teams. Going to 8 teams would be ridiculous and allow someone to get lucky and win a NC without actually deserving it imo.

I’m not arguing for or against a playoff expansion. Just stating that I think AD’s are scheduling these matchups in anticipation of an 8 team playoff or some other major rule change. Rest assured - something is driving this sudden change in scheduling - they wouldn’t be changing if something wasn’t driving it.
