Best Case / Worst Case Scenarios from 2017

This is a fun thing Phil Steele does and will be in his mag when it comes out but we don't have to wait for him to drop it. The idea is to look at all the close games a team had in the past season, their "best case" scenario is imagining they win every game that was within a touchdown or less while the "worst case" is imagining they lose those games. It gives you a good idea of the band in which teams operated in the last year and maybe how they'll do next year:

The following teams achieved their best case scenario (won all close games): Alabama
The following teams achieved their worse case scenario (lost all close games): Auburn

Most close games: Kentucky, South Carolina, and Texas A&M with 7
Fewest close games: Vanderbilt, Missouri with 2
