I always hold out hope for any scenarios that benefit us, if for no other reason than to give me more rooting interests each Saturday.

But while the SEC has a good chance to get five teams in as things stand, Texas getting the nod as that fifth team is very questionable with the blowout loss to UGA. 

Even if we got back to fifth in the SEC pecking order by winning out and OU and Vandy losing, we’d still have to contend with a single extra at-large bid from the ACC, B1G, or Big 12. Potential two-loss teams Miami, GT, USC/Oregon, Michigan, BYU/Tech, and even Utah would have an argument over 9-3 Texas.

 

At this point I just want A&M and OU to be eliminated in as agonizing fashion as possible.

We didn't blow out any good teams.

Our 4th quarter defensive lapses were alarming in the big games and otherwise.

We didn't do anything that screams "we belong". We simply did "just enough" to squeak by and get a decent bowl game.

All we have left is to hope we don't enter a trap game vs. Arkansas.
And that we pull out a miracle against an A&M team with more confidence than talent. 

Because let me tell you - we lack edge & confidence this year. Partly because of poor game planning, I'd assume. And partly because of an unexpectedly poor start to the year.

Every time I see someone say something like this I think "you're talking about top 4 and top 12 is what matters".

With the ACC champ and the G5 team getting in we’d likely need to be top 10.

aggy is in unless they get ass-raped by both us and their SEC Championship game opponent - Ole Miss or UGA.

Why is Alabama out of secccg discussions?

Because I mistakenly overlooked them? FWIW, I think both A&M and Ole Miss will be ranked higher at year's end.

Common opponent in georgia for win is better for bama.

Bama, Georgia, and Ole Miss would all have the tiebreaker over aggy if all 4 finish 7-1. If Texas wins on Black Friday, aggy has to hope Bama and Ole Miss slip up as UGA already finished SEC play at 7-1. In other words, Texas beating aggy would almost assuredly keep aggy out of the SECCG.

I believe Alabama is automatically in if they beat Auburn, and eliminated if they lose.

Correct, and I think Alabama could beat A&M.
