Ultimate nightmare scenario for USC, Pac-12 and college football: 3 SEC teams in the CFB playoff

It would be great for @UGAWire, @VolsWire and @RollTideWire, but bad for everyone else: 3 #SEC teams in the #CFBPlayoff. The scenario is right there as a real possibility.

Oh no.

Please no.

Dear God, no.

Anything but that.

Yup: You know what we’re talking about: The SEC really could get three teams into the College Football Playoff.

Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Oh yes. Very much so. You don’t have to think too long or hard about this one.

Before we share the scenarios which could give us a three-team SEC playoff — and would underscore the importance of getting a 12-team playoff sooner rather than later (meaning 2024 instead of waiting until 2026) — UGA Wire also has its SEC power rankings, which are worth monitoring in connection with the possible three-team SEC playoff.
