Ole Miss, Bama, A&M, BYU, Colorado, Indiana lost

If Texas, UGA and Tenn get in, who's the 4th SEC team to get in (with 3 losses)? Between us, Ole Miss, Bama and A&M. A&M is only team in that group with 2 conference losses so need UT to beat them. We have to beat Clemson obviously.

I think it's factored in. Along with conference losses-which A&M still has 2 technically.
National reactions to South Carolina football's improving College Football Playoff chances following a wild weekend
To make the College Football Playoff, South Carolina football needed to win and have chaos reign supreme. So far, so good for the Gamecocks.
A shot at the playoffs would be great but I have very little faith the committee will give us that shot. Just feel the committee will look elsewhere rather than a three loss SEC team if they get a chance. To be honest tho, I'm not sure clemson has that big of a shot either but they do likely have a slightly better chance than us. That said, I'm content knowing we have a chance to say we knocked them out of the playoff picture... yep, if nothing else, I can live with that.
I believe there's a very decent chance we'll see at least one 3-loss SEC team in the playoffs.
Two-loss A&M has Texas on their plate this weekend, while two-loss UT plays at Vandy.
Also, with the inclusion of the two best teams from the former Big 12 in Texas & Oklahoma, the SEC actually has a case for a 5th team in the playoffs.
We'll see though. We still have to beat Clemson at Clemson which will not be easy.
They've opened up as a 3-point favorite in that game.
Thank Goodness!! Definitely prefer the underdog role vs favorite
A&M has 3 losses overall but 2 SEC losses which maybe you meant. Guess we're rooting for Texas and Auburn next weekend to knock them and Bama out of contention. Ole Miss isn't losing to Miss State.
Ah. Good call. I was fixated on the SEC Standing and didn't consider they lost out of conference.
The SEC currently has 5 teams in the Top 10 of the Power Rankings.
It would be hard to imagine a scenario where the playoff committee would limit the SEC to three teams.
We need to beat Clemson.
Vandy needs to cap off their strong season with a win at home versus UT.
A&M needs find a way to rebound and beat Texas.
That's probably our best setup from strictly an SEC perspective going into the weekend.
