@John at MrSEC What if said team only has 2 SEC wins in addition to 4 cupcakes? How will the selection committee handle that scenario? When u reach a level to where u start to worry about style wins then it is probably a good idea to add style teams otherwise ensure that u dont spend the holidays bragging about the last win against OMU.

@Marwinny

Because when a selection committee is picking the field or a playoff starting in 2014 — and trying to find ways to spread bids to multiple leagues — they’ll not have to use strength of schedule as much as the current BCS system does. And if an SEC team that fails to win its division has wins over Jackson State, MTSU and South Alabama — for example — on its docket, it probably won’t get a bid… unlike Alabama which landed in the BCS title game this past year as a division runner-up.

That’s why.

Thanks for reading,John

Wow 3 SECW teams in the top 10! And most of the remaining SEC teams ranked or getting votes. Makes one wonder why u would ever have to worry about an SEC team’s SOS!

So that ranks Tennessee 11th in the SEC? And Dooley said the SEC wouldn’t have Tennessee to kick around anymore.
