Texas A&M Aggies (5)
Mike Elko's debut season in College Station, Texas, has been really good, but this was a foreseeable trap. The erstwhile SEC leaders fell apart in Williams-Brice Stadium, getting outscored 240 in the second half by the South Carolina Gamecocks. They looked like an overachieving team that was exposed a bit, giving up a boatload of big plays, missing tackles and missing assignments.

Texas A&M's playoff chances: With two losses, the Aggies are living on the edge. But they still have a directalbeit challengingpath. If A&M beats New Mexico State and Auburn as expected, then wins the looming Armageddon rivalry resumption with Texas on Nov. 30, it will play in the SEC title game. Win that and the Aggies are in. A close loss to finish 103 might even have them in the conversation, but that would depend on a number of other factors.

If a 10-3 loser of the SEC conference championship game is left out of the playoffs, Sankey is going to take his toys and go home. That would guarantee the dissolution of the NCAA at the major college football level.

I agree it would be absolute crap if that happened and a team like Indiana ( assuming they lose only to Ohio st while playing no one else) or a 1 loss b12 or acc team like Iowa st or smu get in instead

Pat Forde is writing from MSN now? Has he been fired by every decent sports outlet? I honestly did not know Forde was even still around...just assumed he'd retired after his 6th (or 7th or 8th?) time being fired.

MSN is an aggregator, pulling from various rss feeds and other sources. Looks like he's at Sports Illustrated and MSN chose to highlight it!

This. Both teams that make the SECCG should be automatic qualifiers for the playoff.

You can guarantee a spot for the B1G and SEC runner ups. So that's 7 spots that are pretty much pencilled in. The other 5 are up for debate.
