But the bracket showed that we would play UGA at UGA.

We wouldn't play uga
Uga will go up or down after the SECC

Only 3 SEC teams in the bracket this week

We are ranked above two 10-1 teams, including the darling Indiana

This playoff deal really has made the latter part of this CFB more compelling.   Last weekend,  for example, was thrilling.

⬆️⬆️ Like.

So much for all of those folks who predicted that the expanded playoff would make the regular season irrelevant. 🤪

It's because the top 4 conference champs automatically get the top 4 seeds. So while Boise State is ranked below us, assuming they win their league they'll be seeded higher.

So some things have to happen before we can host, correct? Which is very unlikely.

The best scenario is Texas beats uga in the SECC
That makes uga a 3 loss team
We do NOT want the aggies to win crap

Other than UGA, OSU, and Oregon, I wouldn't be scared of any of the teams in the current projection.

I agree but we can't reach that, unless Armageddon occurs Saturday
I will be paying close attention to the 3:30 games Sat though

Yep, that's the pimp spot. You get to host the last team in the field, then a neutral site game against someone like Boise state. That's basically a free ticket to the semifinals.

Unless the unexpected happens, the 5th spot belongs to either Oregon or OSU.

Beat Vandy and then hope we move up some seeds with some magic. 9th and 10th seeds are bad seeds to be in.

What happens if the rat tiglettes beat uga?

Uga still plays in the SECC, as a 3 loss team

Talk about a nightmare for some
A 3 loss team could get a bye

Could happen with Tamu, but I think they slide down to 12 actually.  As would uga, most likely
