Ole Miss playoff nightmare scenario

Let’s say there’s a miracle and Kiffin and the boys win out. But bad things happen and Ole Miss gets left out of the playoff at 11-1 with a loss to Bama and a win in Athens over the defending back-to-back champs.

1) Ole Miss wins out and LSU beats Bama so there’s a three-way tie atop the SEC West at 7-1. Then the champion is determined by the conference record of each team’s eastern division opponents.

2) Bama or LSU represent the SEC West in the title game with a worse overall record because Ole Miss played winless Vandy out of the East. Rebs still hang the banner.

3) 2-loss LSU or Bama knock off UGA and claim a spot in the playoffs (this is Georgia’s nightmare too now)

4) Three P5 conference champions go undefeated or suffer only one loss.

5) Rebs’ most successful season in the past 50 years is rewarded with a trip to a NY6 bowl.

6) Kiffin takes the open Florida job before the bowl game and Ole Miss loses. 11-1 regular season. No trophies, only sadness.
