UGA Sitting Pretty One Less Game

UGA not having to play for Sec title in Atlanta but will be sitting in top 4 and get a bye in playoffs. Must be nice. If Bama loses to A&M in Atlanta will they bump them out with 3 losses, basically telling Bama you had your playoff chance already.

No they won't bump them out. If that was the case, Bama would be better to refuse to play in the game. Whats the bigger prize? SEC Championship or National Title?

Bama is OUT with 3 losses unless they win the SEC championship game. 

That makes zero sense. You are making an assumption on their 13th game while everyone else has only played 12.

@AJ86

They would def bump them out for a two loss Vandy or a two loss USC imo…Bama getting to play in the Sec title game is their playoff opportunity…they will extend an invite to somebody else if they have the credentials for their opportunity…

Sec is getting 5 teams in max….Uga, A&M, Ole Miss, and Ou for now are good to go….USC, Big 12 #2, Acc #2 are chomping at the bit if Bama and Vandy lose another 

@AJ86

 Regardless everybody at the top is playing game #13 in conf title game with the winners getting a bye and still having to win 3 going forward…UGA is sitting in a spot where they don’t have to play in conf title game and will only have to play 3 games going forward…lol

So your are bumping them out for Vandy, who they pummeled?

@AJ86

 They will get bumped out of if either of those two teams finish with 2 losses and Bama loses a 3rd…also cant rule out Miami who won’t have to play for Acc title, the Acc runner up, or the Big 12 #2..lots of factors but not looking great for Bama tbh..you don’t get two chances which is what they would be given 

As for Vandy, Bama beating them in Tuscaloosa half a season ago doesnt move the needle much…I’d be surprised if Vandy goes 10-2 though…don’t be shocked if Kentucky plays out of their minds and gets them looking ahead to the Vols

If that is the case, teams will refuse to play in conference championship games. What's the point of playing in it and risking another loss and missing the Playoffs.

Playoffs > Conf Championship

@AJ86

Wrong because they have to win one game which would ensure Bama not only a conference title but a better seed…getting in the playoffs means you have to win 4 games to win anything of note…not 1 game..or they can refuse to play and still be left out..however they choose…hahaha 

@AJ86

 Conf Title is greater than making it playoffs…National Title of course trumps everything…

What?

@AJ86

 You know what I was trying to say…damn auto correct..don’t be obtuse 

conference titles are greater than making it to the playoffs….national titles are greater than both…you either add hardware to the trophy cases or you don’t

Disagree. To win the national title you need to make the playoffs. Teams want in the playoffs. Especially in the Power 5 conferences. Sure the Conference title is nice, but the goal is to make the playoffs and then win a national title.

Winning a conference title is more important to the Group of 5 conferences.

@AJ86

 Yet only one can win it…just making playoffs does nothing…winning the Sec or Big Ten is much bigger than just making playoffs…I know teams want in…of course it’s going to be very rare to play in a conference title game and not make playoffs…but just might happen this year

We are going to have to agree to disagree

@AJ86

 enjoy your playoff swag gifts I guess….smdh
