If we beat UGA and FSU, would that catapult us into the playoffs?
Probably not, unless the committee values conference championships above all other criteria.
No, arkansas would get chosen over us.
We'd probably need a little help....but I would think we'd be 6th or 7th at worst. Of course, 6th or 7th gets you nothing.
We'd definitely need ugag to win the SECCG. Ole Miss would need to win the Egg Bowl. It would also help if either Oregon or Ohio State lost. I think we'd get in ahead of Baylor/TCU.
We'll be #5, guarantee it
If everyone ahead of us has fewer losses than us, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

There's definitely a chance, but a lot of stuff would have to happen. Pretty sure I've seen posts outlining what would have to take place.
Georgia Tech's path to the playoff:
1. Beat the dwags. This is non-negotiable.
2. Beat FSU. This is non-negotiable.
3. Mississippi State loses another game in order to prevent 2 SEC teams from being sent to the playoffs OR the SEC East champion (preferably dwags due to our win over them) wins the SEC championship game.
Then some combination of the following (at least 1 of these things is needed, we may need 2 depending on what the committee shows in the next two weeks):
1. TCU loses a game AND Baylor loses a game.
2. Pac-12 South champion (preferably USC after beating UCLA and losing to Notre Dame) beats Oregon.
3. Ohio State does not win the Big Ten, or loses a game before they do.
If all that happens, they can't keep us out of the playoffs. The big thing is I don't see any way for us to get in with 2 SEC teams unless the committee really values conference championships and we go up a ton for beating FSU. We need one of the other power 5 conference candidates (Oregon/UCLA, Ohio State, and TCU/Baylor/Kansas State) to not make it in.
Ole Miss beats Miss St
Auburn beats Bama.
We beat UGAg.
Calling it now.
