re: Auburn @ Ole Miss... Elimination game?

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.
