How the College Football Playoff<\/strong><\/a> committee stacked four two-loss SEC teams was going to make headlines Tuesday night. Alabama<\/a><\/strong>, Georgia<\/a><\/strong>, Ole Miss<\/a><\/strong>, and Tennessee<\/a><\/strong> all have 9-2 records with multiple head-to-head victories. Nobody knew how it would turn out and was curious ahead of the unveiling.<\/p>\n

Alabama was at the top of the bunch, coming in at No. 7. Miami separated the other three from the Crimson Tide, with Ole Miss at No. 9 and the other two following. ESPN\u2019s Booger McFarland complimented the committee on their decision to rank the Rebels above Georgia and Tennessee in real-time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a perfect spot,\u201d McFarland said of Ole Miss at No. 9. \u201cWhen I saw Tennessee 11, Georgia 10 \u2014 this is a perfect spot for Ole Miss. Seeing what they did to Georgia on the field, it wasn\u2019t even a close game. So, you had to have Ole Miss ranked ahead of Georgia. A great job by the committee.\u201d<\/p>\n

In that specific trio, head-to-head matchups were valued. Ole Miss took down Georgia in Oxford before the Bulldogs turned around and beat Tennessee at home on Saturday night. <\/p>\n

There might be some pushback from the Vols due to their win over Alabama \u2014 a team ranked four spot higher than them. Committee chair Warde Manuel later explained why Tennessee is behind other two-loss SEC foes.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, one, they just had a loss to\u00a0Georgia, and they had the loss at\u00a0Arkansas<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d Manuel said. \u201cIt\u2019s really splitting hairs. They have great offense, great defense. They play hard. The committee just had a hard time. You\u2019re talking about four really good teams, when you look at\u00a0Alabama,\u00a0Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the four, Georgia is the only one done with SEC play. The other three will have in-state rivalries to close out the regular season. Alabama heads to Norman on Saturday while Ole Miss has a big road trip to face off against Florida<\/a><\/strong>. Tennessee has its final nonconference game of the year vs. UTEP<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Upsets could occur and completely shake the rankings up. But for now, McFarland is happy with how the committee handled the situation.<\/p>\n
