Clemson lost, Indiana and SMU lost. Tennessee is getting demolished. If we can win our bowl, we have a great shot at finishing in the Top 10 for the first time since SOS got us there. That would be huge, imho, for recruiting and maybe in next season's pre-season polls.

I'm curious to see if the voter attitiude is, "well, they made the CFP, so they're in the top 12 regardless of outcomes" and don't leapfrog anyone outside over them in the final polls.

I guess they don't belong? That's what the Gamecocks say about anyone that loses in the playoffs. You better run and get yiu a Texas shirt. I mean the Bama stuff you own doesn't really help you this season. Silly coots always watching the dance on TV. Never get to go so sad.....😅😅

Another team that played a weaker schedule. Only two quality SEC teams on their schedule. Beat Bama at home and lost to UGA. Out of conference power 5 opponent was the might NCSU. Bad loss to Arkansas. We could have easily gone 10-2 wwith that schedule. They never had to play two tough games in a row, They even had four SEC home games in a row.

Within conference the SEC needs to redo the schedule every year taking into account the previous years results. It really is not that important to play a home/away.

Since the conferences have become so bloated with members, conference records are becoming an increasingly irrelevant method of determining a conference champion because the schedule difficulty varies enormously within the conference. They really need to re-think this approach... but I suspect it's intentional, to a large degree, to allow for favoritism toward the cash-cow "brands".

TN is embarrassing the SEC right now. Over rated as usual
The SEC needs to win the national championship with one of the two remaining teams, which I consider no better than a 35% chance. Then the SEC needs to win more than it loses to the B1G in the other bowls. Otherwise, the B1G will have asserted supremacy after already winning the National Championship last year. It's a very unappetizing prospect.

Very well thought out all the way around.

Clemson is 0-3 versus the SEC and not even the best team in South Carolina. LOL.

And Notre Dame and Michigan and Ohio State. Condescending at its highest form.
Tennessee fans are the most annoying fans I've ever encountered home or away, but they aren't the rudest or meanest. Penn State fans are the rudest in their home stadium I have ever encountered, hands down. LSU fans are right behind them, but there is at least some comedic aspects to their buffoonery that mitigates the negative experience. I agree with you about OSU and Michigan fans being the most condescending. I don't know much about Notre Dame fans since the vast majority of ND "fans" I've encountered have never stepped foot on that campus.
