No, we will be solidly at 6 in both polls

No they don't jump us now, but I believe they have the tie break to play the winner of TX - A&M in
SEC Championship. If they win that they'll jump us, but Texas would drop so it will equal out.
I could be wrong - but I think Alabama has the tie break.

You could totally be right, but SEC tie break is very weird..
I'm not even sure they are sure how they do it, but something about when there are multiple ties they don't go by head to head.
I checked numerous sites and they all show GA #3 in SEC behind TX and A&M right now.
I would think
Without researching, I would think the tiebreaker would go something like this:
1- Head to head
2- Record against common opponents
3- Record of all teams played in conference
4- Record of all teams played
Edit: I was close. The third tiebreaker is actually record against the common opponent highest in the SEC standings, then 2nd best, etc. And they don't consider the record of all teams played at all.
I read it somewhere, who knows - that's why getting to 6 is key - Not playing Ala/Geo 2nd round.

They don't seem as powerful as they were in past years
Both Alabama and Georgia are excellent teams, but they're not quite what they were compared to even last year, much less in the prime years before that.
This year is a most interesting one, seeing how there's significantly more parity among the teams, instead of having just a handful of upper echelon teams that were significantly above the rest.
I guess I'm the weird one...I'd love to host Bama or Georgia in the first round.

14. SMU (Second team out, but currently 1st in ACC and IN if they win CCG)
15. A&M (Third team out, but would be in SEC CCG with wins over Aub & TX)
Does Georgia jump Alabama, to whom they lost?
All I want is one SEC game in the snow in SB.
Are you referring to the playoff ranking?
I expect ND to be 10th on Tuesday.
I hope this is a joke.
If not your credibility is about to be nuked.
ND was #8 in last playoff ranking, the two teams directly in front of them at 7 and 6 both lost, and you think not only will we not move up but we'll drop two spots.
So they are just going to jump 4 teams over us, for what reason?? Miami's excellent practice vs BYE?
Bama's dominance over Mercer?
Ol Miss' dominant practice vs BYE?
Georgia's win over Tenn the week after getting smoked by Ol Miss?
What are you smoking man? ..cause you may want to get a refund on that shit.
6...but just win. Army is all that matters for the team.(Though I'd love to play Colorado in 1rst R)
