Route To Playoffs Thread

This is simply to discuss the ever changing route we will need to take in order to make it to the playoffs this year.
If you think we will fail, think we suck, Auburn will beat us, etc... this thread ain't for you.
Anyways, this is what I believe we need to see happen:
Combination of..
- Clemson Loss
- Utah and Oregon get two losses
- Oklahoma and Baylor get two losses
This is what I believe we need to do:
Destory every team by significant margin; especially Auburn.
This is what I believe our map to our desired end needs to entail:
- Oklahoma beating Baylor, Baylor losing to Texas then Oklahoma losing the championship game.
- Baylor beating Oklahoma, but losing to Texas and losing rematch in championship game.
- Oregon losing to ASU or losing in championship game to Utah (Utah need another loss).
- Utah losing to a hot UCLA team then beating Oregon in championship game.
- Someone... anyone finally beating Clemson
We need two of these five scenarios to occur.
We also need:
Auburn to beat UGA next week so we can go to their stadium and beat the shite out of a two loss top ten ranked Auburn (who beat Oregon earlier).
My point?
It's not impossible boys. Let's try to keep the faith
Who else sees different scenarios? Hopefully we can keep this thread going week to week and update our chances and new possible routes.

We really just need Oklahoma and Baylor to lose.
Obv a Clemson loss would be huge.
We need Auburn to beat Georgia.
Our playoff hopes are still very much alive. There’s still a lot of football left to be played.
I think beating the absolute shite out of Auburn is a must.
I hope the coaches realize how much the score matters, and we should try to win by as many points as possible. Keep our starters in the whole game

Even if we make the playoffs, our defense will fail us.

I think it’s probably simpler than that.
We need the barn to beat Georgia. Preferably bad.
Oklahoma to beat Baylor. I think Oklahoma is out after a bad loss and that struggle with unranked Iowa state yesterday.
Georgia needs to lose, but play it close in the SECCG.
We need to beat the barn convincingly.
Utah/Oregon play a close game where neither looks that good.
Those things happen I think we will get in.

I don't see any way that we drop lower than 6.

Our best win is going to be (assuming we win it) a 3-4 loss Auburn team.
Our second best win will be a 4-5 loss Texas A&M team.
Our competition won't be a 2 loss team with a 40 point loss.
Sorry, I don't see it.

Ohio State needs to beat the shite out of everyone they play. And if Minnesota somehow wins out and upsets Ohio State in a close game, it's all over. They'll both get in. We can't have Penn State beat Ohio State. We need Minnesota to lose to Wisconsin or Iowa, just to be safe.

It sucks but this would go a long way in helping us.

I do think that not playing on championship Saturday hurts us too. A win over Auburn would have to be very impressive to carry over into that weeks rankings.

Honestly? Auburn is going to go into that game with 8-9 wins and be ranked.
We need to fvckin beat a decent Auburn team in Auburn. I'm tired of that shite.

The biggest threat is Oregon (and Utah)
a 12-1 PAC12 champion Oregon will almost certainly leap frog us.
A 12-1 conference champion over an 11-1 non-conference champion, lots of people feel the conference title should put them over the top. Oregon's lone loss was to Auburn, a game they lead the entire time and arguably should have won.
The politics work heavily in Oregon's favor. The PAC12 has been extremely disgruntled about no playoff appearances and there is Bama fatigue out there.
Oregon is your main threat. Utah is a threat for many of the same reasons, but slightly less so than Oregon.
Oklahoma is also a threat but less so than the others, because the voters rightfully have very little respect for Oklahoma right now, given they lost badly to KSU (way worse than the score showed) and that they just needed to escape a loss to Iowa State at home.

I don’t think our margin of victory really matters. We need multiple teams to lose down the stretch. That’s really what it comes down to.
