State isn't that good IMO. They will drop another game, possibly 2. The SEC can get 2 in the playoffs if this is our only loss. Our schedule this year is a fricking joke. To go undefeated this year was extremely unlikely.

To who? I don't think they lose both Bama and Ole Miss. Don't see Arky or SECe beating them either

Even if State wins out we are in as long as we win out too. We'll be 11-1 with the only loss being to an undefeated SEC champion and mostly like the #1 ranked team in the country. We still control our own destiny if you ask me. Now that being said, we still have one hell of a schedule to navigate and it won't be easy to do.

Yup. I think they peaked (for the season already), if they're ranked like #2 going into Bama's stadium, I see them cracking from the intense pressure of expectations, since bama is usually the ones in their shoes.

Personally, when it comes to AU, I think we do better climbing up the ladder during the season. I've never enjoyed this being anointed #1 or #2 -during the regular season. When we play to win, it's w/a chip on our shoulders and a mad as hell mentality (find a way to win at any cost) attitude.
This is what separates the teams w/ entitlement issues vs the hungry as hell beasts on the field.
Hope we get good and hungry as we move up that ladder.
