I never count out the SEC when it comes to getting something they shouldn't.
I am in no way predicting a 3 loss sec team won’t get in. I’m saying they shouldn’t. If Georgia loses today, they get a bye or they’re out. No debate from anyone there. The question is bama and ole miss. No way they deserve to get in. Loses to Kentucky, Florida, vandy and Oklahoma. OUT! (But they’ll get in)
 
True. But if they lose to ga tech and Texas, they have 4 loses. Out. Bama and ole miss? Out. Texas is the only team in.
Correct, if they lose to Texas they’re out. If they beat Texas, they’re in. This game against Tech means nothing. This is exactly why the expanded playoffs are a mistake.
 
This game would still mean nothing if the playoffs weren't expanded.
Georgia is 9-2. They can lose to Tech, fall to 9-3, beat Texas in the conference championship and be an automatic qualifier for the expanded playoffs. Not only an automatic qualifier, but receive a first round bye.

Under the previous 4-team playoff, no 3-loss team ever stood a chance at making it, not even the SEC champion.

The game against Tech means nothing to Georgia in the big scheme of things and the explanded playoffs are the reason.

Also, under the previous 4-team playoff, Georgia would absolutely have to win against Tech and in the SEC championship against Texas to have a chance at making the playoffs. The Tech game would have still had meaning (a lot of it).

The SEC champion would not be left out of a 4-playoff. Especially one that beat Texas twice.
