So, again, how is Ole Miss, not Mizzou, a playoff contender? Its not about Mizzou just to be clear in case you need that clarity.


They have the following wins

#41 Boise State (N)
#36 Memphis
#1 Alabama
#19 @ Texas A&M
#30 Tennessee
#17 @ Arkansas (assumed in this scenario)
#10 Mississippi State (assumed in this scenario)
SEC Championship Win (#3 UGA/#36 Mizzou)

Losses to : @ #16 LSU, vs #6 Auburn

They'd have 7 or 8 Top 50 wins, 1 Top 5 win, 2-3 Top 20 wins. That would compare very favorably to anybody else that would be on that fringe (TCU, Baylor, Ohio State, UCLA, etc).

To compare, here are Missouri's wins assuming they win out and go to Atlanta

#33 @ South Carolina
#23 @ Florida
#19 @ Texas A&M
#30 @ Tennessee
#17 Arkansas
#1 Alabama

Losses to : #81 Indiana, #3 Georgia

Mizzou would have 6 Top 50 wins and only 1 Top 15 win to go along with a home loss to #81.

These ranking are laughable. Its the basis for the argument as well. Im not really trying to dig on Ole Miss, dont have a problem with them but it goes to the larger issue of over valuing the SEC West.

Not trying to be a douche here, Im really not. Its just pretty clear to the "eye" test that intra West wins are overvalued and intra West loses undervalued.

Just my opinion. The West has some great teams this year just the whole of the division is literally vastly overrated.
