eh...the way it's shaping up though the sec may only get 4 in.
I could very easily see both A/M and Texas needing to win that final game to be one of those 4. even if they go into that game both 10-1. So while A&M fans are super happy right now and thinking they are i great position, they still may need some help to not have the texas game be a 'must win' game for the playoffs. Which honestly isn't a great place to be.
Whats hurting all these non-ga schools(georgia is in such a sweet spot because they have that clemson win in their back pocket the committee will love) is the miami conundrum. Miami probably doesn't deserve it, but if they win their next 4 games against a cake schedule and then clemson beats them in the acc title game(all of which is likely), Miami/the acc is going to steal an extra bid.
And all indiana has to do is beat the two crappy michigan schools and purdue to get to 11-1 and a likely bid(making 4 for the bigten).
So if the bigten gets 4, and ND takes one, and the acc gets 2, even if the big12 only gets 1 as expected thats still only 4 left for the acc.
So then that means 4 spots for Georgia, Tennessee, Bama/LSU winner(probably Bama), and Texas/A&M. Meaning unless Tennessee does something like lose to vanderbilt or Bama loses to Auburn or whatever, the Texas and A&M loser is very likely the odd man out.
I think for most Aggies, winning that Texas game means just as much if not more than making the SEC championship game. So it doesn’t really matter, I’m hyped that it will likely be an elimination game.

Please keep downplaying Kyle field.
Feels surreal to actually be at the top of the SEC at this point of the season.
