Do we even have one?
Head to head losses vs other 10-2 teams bama and ole miss. How many sec teams will get in?
Sec champ and 2 others at most.

Theoretically, yes. With this offense, no.

Weird year in football, we can beat anyone and lose to anyone. Lane is light years better at o and ole miss had a huge advantage in the rain.

Our o barely functions on a clear day let alone a down pour.

This bodes extremely well for a potential playoff game in December in Columbus or State College.

Lived and worked in both places, weather isn't that much different until late Dec or January.

Have also lived in the Midwest. If they couldn't handle a little rain today, they definitely won't be able to handle it when it's 37 degrees and raining sideways in the middle of December.

If we go 10-2 with wins over Clemson, Texas, and Tennessee, we’re in.

To what end? Do we have a single leader on either side of the ball that isn't a coach/coordinator who's paid to give a shite?

The Jekyll & Hyde thing only works when it's one side of the ball that forgets to get off the bus. Tonight, the retardation struck the Offense and Defense in the same game.

Kirby may have handed Kiffin the Florida job now that he has a scalp under his belt.

As things stand, do I think we make a playoff run? No, I do not. Our offense is too impotent for us to expect to win against a really good team. The question was “what is our path to the playoff?”, and I was answering that.

Our path is the same as in all the Richt years. "Wait till next year!"

If we win out, we will be in the playoffs. Will we win out? I hope so, but yesterday, we looked lost on offense and defense

As long as Beck is at the helm, we don’t. His attitude is reflected in the team.

There was no celebrating, nothing. This team had zero fire and zero desire. What culture was there is now gone, and I’d be willing to bet there are locker room issues.

Yep, we need to win out...

The good news is that all three games are in Sanford Stadium.

At best we can be 4th SEC school in by winning out.

Ole Miss and Bama should win out and be ranked ahead of us.

Winner of Texas / Texas AM will be ranked ahead

Sec standings don’t matter. We gotta fight to be top 12

The current playoff predictor (which I'm sure will change) is a dream scenario. At Penn State and the winner getting BYU. Of course if we play like we did yesterday, that's another story.

As opposed to being 45 and raining sideways in Athens....

10-2 is a lock, but only 2 losses is no lock

The real question is, what happens once (if) we get into the playoffs?
We don't look like we're winning many games once we do.

We have no idea what to expect. The defense is hot and cold and offense sputtering. We don’t have the leadership to snap them into line so it’s really going to depend on their attitude and what they’re willing to put into winning.

That said, we have to beat a TN team this weekend with a nasty DL and explosive potential. They would love nothing more than to beat us at home and like OM you can bet your arse they’ve been game planning this game all season.
