3 of our 4 road games in the SEC were against teams that will be a combined 5-19.

At the end of the 4th quarter we had a lead in 0 of those games. 

That’s wonderful.  That particular statement was not limited to SEC games.  Throw in a road game against Ohio State.  Throw in a neutral site versus OU.  That 4th road game was against another top 5 team.  I guess your implication is correct.  50% of our non-home games against top 10 teams is typical, and we should only play top 25 teams on the road.

Go ahead and tell me how we had a bye leading into UF but ignore the fact that Kentucky had a bye, that it was homecoming, that it was at night, that they never led the game, or that we were coming off the OU game.  Ignore the thought that OU had a de facto bye leading up to our game.  

Oh by the way, our 29 point lead versus Arkansas was the most of any SEC team against them.  Our 21 point lead versus Vandy is their largest deficit of the season.  Ironic they were both home games.  And in spite of OU not needing to focus on Kent State, their 17 point deficit to us - also their largest of the season.

The season is a grind whether you are in the SEC or not.  No team gets up or plays their best every week.  More games away from home.  Length of time away from home.  The more games you have requiring maximum intensity.  All those things make the grind more difficult.  This team will have had more of that shit than anyone.

Texas is going over a 2 loss Utah. Miami isnt gonna make it unless they win the conference. SC is a non factor. Michigan will lose to OSU. Vandy will lose to Tenn (and shouldnt be ahead of us anyways if we beat aggy). If OU or Bama slip up, it will be a beauty contest between 2 loss BYU and 3 loss Texas, if we get left out over those Mormon clowns who lost the only two real games they play all year against TTU. Then we absofuckinglutely should cancel all preseason games against OSU/ND and the likes. No point to play them. 

When the chips are on the table and all cards are played and it’s a clear Texas with 3 losses or BYU with 2 then I could agree with your premise though we don’t know if the committee wants conference diversity in which case the distinction may be 5-6 from the SEC is too many. But yeah in that scenario you really have to start asking questions. 

First post I’ve seen that makes me pause. I hope we get that stark of an answer.
