Their win over Alabama might look a little less impressive, but then their stock would also rise from beating teams like Auburn and Mississippi State, so I'm not sure if that would matter.

Yes, they absolutely will be.
Georgia gets Gurley back for that game. You're an underdog against Ole Miss, who does not have the name brand in Vegas that a team like Georgia has.
If Georgia wins out until that game (which is very likely), there's zero chance they aren't favored.

Not according to the statement released by the committee - only wins count.

Am I right?

Well, no. I disagree completely. But not getting into it.

Use common sense dude. If we win we are in, we lose we are knocked out.

No shite, your agenda is obvious.

Not really, Ole Miss is more or less a pick 'em at -2.5. Regardless, vegas doesn't care about "brand names" when setting lines.

Alright then. To each their own.

What agenda do I have?

If we lose, our job is to ruin Bama and UGA's chances.

They care about getting action on both sides, in most cases. Brand name plays a huge part in that.

Every team that has one loss is playing an elimination game every week.
Teams with 2 losses are already eliminated....
Teams with 2 losses are already eliminated....

I would bet right now that a 2-loss team gets in the playoff.

Best chance for that to happen is if the SEC West champ loses to UGA in the championship game.

Yes, the right kind of action that makes them money. I don't comprehend how you think a "brand name" sways their opening line.

I would argue that Ole Miss is still in the discussion if they lose.
Auburn is going to be the underdog against UGA and Alabama, and there is a decent chance they will lose both of those games.
If Ole Miss finds a way to get in a 3-way tie with Alabama and Mississippi State, they would win the West (this is assuming Ole Miss wins the Egg Bowl).
But yes, it is very likely that the loser of this game will not make the playoff. Because, most likely, the loser of this game won't win the West.
Correct - Ole Miss is not mathematically dead with a loss, but it's tenuous.

The SEC results in OOC games could be huge if we end up with several two loss teams. Wins over West Virginia, K-State, Clemson, and Wisconsin collectively help the whole conference. And the Big Ten's OOC record is garbage...losses to Oregon, LSU, West Virginia, Utah, TCU, Cal, Northern Illinois, as well as (chuckle) Virginia Tech and Iowa State. The Big Ten's OOC record has been garbage across the board, with the exception of the Indiana win over Missouri. And the committee's rankings reflect that.
