Did anyone catch Saban's postgame comments after the Ole Miss loss? He said the team's goals are all still within reach. How is this possible if one of the following (Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Auburn) were to win out? I would think the team's first goal is to win the conference title and then obviously that puts you in the national title mix. Just didn't understand that comment from him. Welcome your thoughts.

Uh, they'd need some help. I would bet that the West division will come down to a tiebreaker of some sort.

Bama still plays MSU and Auburn. You are right about Ole Miss, but I think we can all agree they lose one somewhere.

Not a difficult thing to understand. Still play MSU and Auburn. Certainly not unreasonable to think that Ole Miss might lose. I Alabama were to win out it's probably more likely than not that they win the division. Certainly "within reach" albeit the margin for error is now razor thin and will need a little help from Ole Miss opponents.
Alabama is still a good team capable of winning a championshp. They are among probably a dozen teams in the country that could beat anyone but also lose to those same dozen teams depending on the bounce of the ball.

If bama wins out they would probably go to the playoff even if Ole Miss keeps them out of the SEC championship.
