Where do they get seeded if they lose tonight and lose the SEC game?  Fall behind IU ?

They better fall behind IU if they lose tonight. They’re getting dominated by a middle of the pack ACC team. Sooner or later they’ll have to admit that the SEC isn’t what they claim it is.

I would hope if they lose tonight AND in the SEC title game, they get the top seed in the Taxslayer Bowl.

If they lost this and then won yeah but if they lose this one and sec title game then they are going to be out.   If they won this one and lose the sec title game they probably stay in the 12 

Right -- but what I was essentially saying was they don't HAVE to win this game. They can lose and still have an avenue to the CFP. 

Unfortunately, we don't necessarily have any control of our destiny. We could beat Purdue and still get left out. I would hope that's very unlikely, but it could happen ...

They should admit it but will never do so. It’s the SEC. Hell, the committee had TN leap up in the rankings because they beat friggin 2-9 UTEP. It’s a joke.

Hopefully, take care of business tomorrow and we should be in the playoff. At this point I’m not all that concerned if we are mis-seeded as long as we are in.

I will guess Georgia falls but stays in the top 12  (maybe at 12 exactly). The committee will not let UGA miss the playoff without maximum chaos.

I don’t know about (and still a lot of time left, Georgia could still beat Georgia tech.  And if Georgia is at 12, they are out anyway because the big 12 champ bumps them.  
 

but there is one thing it does:  it prevents  A&M from stealing a spot.  If A&M beats Texas and then plays a Georgia team that lost to tech, if A&M wins the spot they steal is Georgia’s.

I think UGA finds a way tonight, but if not they won’t be in the top 12. Then we’ll likely jump to a spot where it’s borderline impossible for us to fall out if we take care of business tomorrow. 

Haynes King is impressive as hell tonight. This has been fun to watch.

The drive GaTech is putting together is impressive. Would be even better if they get this 4th and 3.

[LamarCheeks 18,943]

Man -- that Georgia Tech QB is one gritty SOB. 

[Hovadipo 56,256]

UGA just doesn’t have an answer on defense. Which is a wild thing to say in their current form. Every one of those dudes in the box will play on Sundays. 

[DChoosier 8,460]

This is the beauty of the 12 team playoff. In past years I wouldn’t have  spent  5 seconds paying attention to this game but am totally into it.

Edit:

And looking forward to TN/Vandy, Bama/Auburn and Miami/Cuse. Playoff has added a ton of drama.

[TheWatShot 14,000]

What a drive for Tech. 16 plays, 87 yards, 9:53, and they still have at least one more play when the fourth quarter begins. 

[Magnanimous 4,603]

Haynes King is treating every play like he’s Mike Winchell against Dallas Carter.

[Stuhoo 80,877]

This Ga Tech drive is already at nine minutes, 53 seconds.

Even if they settle for a FG it’s a big winner for Ga Tech.

[Stuhoo 80,877]

Alrighty. A FG more wins it for Ga Tech. Maybe don’t even need that.

[DChoosier 8,460]

They could have flagged the GA defender for smacking the QB in the helmet when he was on the ground after being tackled ..

[RaceToTheTop 25,837]

They gave Georgia a first down there on the run?  He was at least a yard short.

[RaceToTheTop 25,837]

Don't understand that third down blitz by Ga Tech there.
