I worry much less about our seeding than the chances of merely getting in. If A&M wins the SEC, we might move up a bit but hoping for home playoff game (unless we look damn impressive the rest of the year) is putting on the rosiest-colored glasses on the market.
 
Assuming (and I know that is a lot at this point of the season), the rest of the schedules play out as they probably will, here is the reality of the lay of the land.

- Chances are the top 6 seeds will be, in no particular order: #1 SEC, #1 Big, #1 ACC, #1Big 12, #2SEC, #2 Big.

- A one-loss loser of the ACC title game or a two loss Clemson (assuming 2nd loss is in ACC title game) will be above us. The loser of the OSU/PSU game will be ahead of us.

So there we are at #9 without even blinking.

In addition:
- We will likely be slotted below #3 SEC, unless it is A&M.
- If BYU/Iowa St end up undefeated in the Big 12 champ game, it is a toss-up seeding between us and the loser of that game.
