    Who has the best chance to beat Dawgs? In my opinion it’s either Bama or Michigan.

    I agree . . . but would say tOSU has a better chance than overrated USCw so it's a net positive there.

    OSU has been shown more favoritism more than any other team in the BCS series and ultimately been exposed in post season play. They are going to get another pass after getting humiliated and not having to play in a conference championship game. They don't deserve a seat at the table. I could give a crap about Georgia losing, they are still an SEC team and when we are good enough, we beat them on the field.

    They are def in the conversation. It looks like GA/MI + two out the the three: OSU, TCU, Bama

    I don’t know how bama is even in the conversation. They lost to two teams, neither of which are very good.

    Earlier in the year I would have agreed with you re: LSU. They were not very good. They did, however, go 9-3 and make the SEC game. TN is pretty darn good.
    If it's OSU & TCU I wouldn't argue against it, but I do feel that Bama is in the conversation.

    9-3 isn’t very good, and lsu is showing you how good they are right now. A team that gets boat raced by a mediocre sc also isn’t very good. Sorry. Bama was pretty mediocre this season. They don’t deserve to be in the conversation, and if they were anyone other than bama, they wouldn’t be.

    I think Ohio State may have the best chance of beating Georgia. UGA is crushing running attacks and Ohio State slings it around and doesn’t rely that much on running.

    I’m hoping to wind up with Ohio State, Michigan, and I hope Bama solely because they are the three with the best chance of beating Georgia IMO.

    I’ve seen enough Bama in my lifetime. I want TCU to get in. Besides, if you look at their common opponent, Texas, TCU did much better.

    And now for something completely different. :p

    TCU loses. Georgia wins, duh. Bama lobbies. Ohio State prays. And Micheegan is currently killing Purdue by a point nearing the half.

    Luftenant. Please put me in hyper-sleep for 9 months. I'll have none of this nonsense till the fall! God save the king.

    Go Gators.

    All this talk about the insignificance of the Conference Championship game outcome is sickening.

    When we were defending national champions Alabama knocked us out in the SEC Championship game. They are using CONFERENCE championship games to decide who plays for NC when they want to- when it suits them.

    Looks as though neither one might make it in, but I'm pulling for TCU to do so but not USC!

    As far far better for another Southeast conference team to get in whoever it is, more money in the pockets of each institution in the SEC.

    1-UGA, 2-Michigan, 3-TCU, 4-tOSU

    There's a fair argument to flip TCU and tOSU, but I think the committee will try to avoid a UM/tOSU rematch in the semifinal so we'll have the above rankings.

    I think this is the best and most likely scenario. That GA/OSU matchup should be interesting. Note if the committee subs Bama in for TCU, I expect all hell to break loose.
