When we win out, do we make the playoffs?  Let's just say we figured out that no team in the country can stop our power run game and we demolish every team in our way.   Does the Auburn game keep us from getting in the playoffs?  Keep in mind that they lose at least twice in my dream scenario.

I have 10 to 12 points to make per game.

If we won out and Auburn loses two in your scenario, we would be SEC champions.  Of course the SEC champion will be in the playoffs.

When we win out this season, hell will have frozen over and the apocalypse will be near so it won't matter.

No, Jeff Long being in charge of the committee means we can't be put into the playoffs due to a potential conflict of interest.  I think when he signed up for the gig he didn't realize we would be this good.

This could not be more wrong. If being on this committee kept teams out, there wouldn't be an AD on it. ???

Its obviously not going to happen... but as far as dream scenario.... YES we would be in.

Theres ZERO possible way the playoff committee leaves out an 11-1 SEC team, with their only loss being week 1 AT auburn....

With as weak as everyone but the PAC 12 and the SEC appear this year, I think we could realistically see a playoff with two teams from those conferences and the other conference champions left out. The Big XII champ needs to be undefeated to guarantee a spot, as they have been beaten up on out of the conference.  The two from the the B1G that were likely at the beginning of the season have already lost (OSU and Michigan State).  And the ACC needs Florida State to run the table, although they have the best chance of getting in with a lost because they won it last year.

If things play out like this, yes, I think if we won out, we could be a second team from the SEC.

With the hardest schedule in the country...you would think that they will make the playoff with just one loss.  Wouldn't you think?

If we win out and Auburn wins out we get a rematch in the playoffs! Granted it is more likely I win the lottery, but with the toughest schedule in the country we would get a spot if we win out. ;D

Dude, have you recently been to Colorado to load up on your "medical smokes"?! I mean as much as I'd love to dream about us "running the table" from here I think you need to significantly reign in your expectations for the remainder of the year. Let's just win enough to qualify for a decent bowl and I, along with at least 99% of the rest of HV, will be partying like it's 1999.

Hey folks, if we win every game the rest of the year and early into next, we'll win the NC.  And if the dog hadn't stopped to poop he would have caught the rabbit and if you hadn't stop to smell it, you would have seen the race.  The ifs are plentiful.

Jamie Jones

The question is only dumb because everyone should know that the SEC Champion will NEVER be left out of the top 4.

Don't ever let the naysayers rain on your optimism. Until the games are played, no one knows what the outcome will be. They only have reasoning to go off of. And if Auburn had listened to reasoning last year, they'd have missed out on the second best year they've had in the last half century.

You'll always get hammered here for being a homer. But I'd rather read the positive thinking than the bitching and negative thinking, any time! WPS

I think we'll knock somebody out of contention this year. Probably not win out and I'd like to say that stranger things have happened, but honestly, they haven't in 50 years.

I agree.  we are going to play the roll of spoiler this year for a couple teams.

true, but the way this year is shaping up, I don't think anyone is going to make it out of the SEC unbeaten.

Long would keep us out just to protect his status as Captain Integrity.

IF the Hogs were up for consideration, Long would have to recuse himself from all discussions.  The same as anybody else on the committee who has ties to a team that is under consideration.

besides if the hogs made it , we would miss the whole first quarter seeing him being interviewed on the difficulties of how the process of the selection committee operates.

By then, it'll at least be the first half, then they'd spend the third quarter on his integrity track record.

If we win out, we make the NFL playoffs.

Speaking of conflicts of interest...doesn't anyone else wonder why a politician is on the committee?

I was thinking about this earlier...it's like they lined up a bunch of shady folks to decide who was going to get the nod when the computer polls can't figure out who to send, the folks who are willing to pay the most get the nod.

Think Cam Newton...

If I'm not mistaken, didn't they put in some provisions to prevent this from happening?
