Re: If the playoff picture looks like this.

I agree in that scenario, if all are unbeaten, it would be:

1. LSU
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma

or some other seeding of those same four teams. But, if LSU is 13-0, and ANY ONE of the other three is a one loss conference champion, and Georgia did in fact go 12-1 with the only loss being to LSU, the ESPN spin machine would blow a gyroscope trying to jump Georgia over one of them, and we would be the most likely target. That is where our trump card of being defending National Champion would keep us in the playoffs, I believe.

Oh, the howls the Dawgs would send up in that scenario once they are left out would be loud enough to scare buzzards off a gut wagon in Siberia.

Saban would be lobbying at his best to get Bama in at 11-1 in that same scenario. Remember, he has already been successful at getting them into the playoffs without playing in the SEC Championship already one time. And, he also got a rematch and won another Natty back in the BCS days after losing to LSU in the regular season. So, it would be duel to the death between the Georgia hype machine and the Bama hype machine in this scenario. Given the love the media has for Bama, I think the Dawgs are left howling in lament again in that case.

Someone always slips up at some point in the season. Every year the pundits look ahead after 4 games wondering about multiple undefeated teams, but as our last game shows, it’s really really hard to execute and stay motivated every game all season - I imagine LSU, Uga or Oh St slipping up at some point - not that that will clarify the situation, ie one loss conference champ OH St vs one loss to Bama Uga or LSU.

In the same vein I think it’s ridiculous people are talking about our playoff resume being weak 4-5 games into the season - how can you have an extensive resume 4 games in? The best resumes at this point only have one signature win. But an undefeated Clemson who returns to form and dominates late season will be in.

If the playoff picture looks like this.

no, all the experts push for 3 SEC teams in playoff***

Bama can't pay Georgia if they lose to LSU.
