Will a 3 loss SEC team make the playoffs this year?

With this crazy year, I lean 1, maybe 2, gets in.

 

Even IF a 3 loss SEC team gets invited, no fan wants to be wondering IF they get that invite on the final CFP rankings for the playoffs.

oh they'll strain to get a 3 loss bama team in after kiffin wins saturday afternoon.  they are not expecting pete to beat kirby saturday either.  If that happens its a full open can of uh oh.

The SEC’s non conference record is almost flawless. I think only two losses to date so I think that will carry a lot of weight in the selection process. I think you could see one or possibly even two SEC teams with three losses in the playoff just based off schedule strength.

I highly wager at least one 3 loss team gets in, maybe two.

 

Ole Miss, LSU, and Ohio State did almost everything they could do to NOT be that three loss invite after today.

It sucks to be sitting at 3 losses now, but it’s better now rather than getting the third the last two weeks of the season.  At least OM has a chance to move back up in the polls by winning out.   There are several 2 loss teams and some will pick up their 3rd and drop at the wrong time.   
 

Of the current 3 loss teams, OM has the more favorable schedule left.   LSU has Texas and Tennessee left.  Missouri and SC still have Georgia left.   OM just needs to get the offense back on track against Oklahoma.
