re: Honest assessment of your team after Week 10

About where I had them in the pre-season. Nuss has an elite arm but will make some dumb decisions. Despite the meltdown in the 2nd half against Aggy, defense has been better than I had feared. Running game has been worse. OL is elite in pass protection, vastly less so in the run game. Disappointed in lack of physicality ... but if we can beat Bama, we close with Fla, Vandy and OU. Our problem is if we somehow manage to get to the end with 1 loss in the SEC, I see at least 2 other 1 loss teams ... the winner between Ga & Tenn and the winner between Tx and A&M. Under that scenario, conventional wisdom is if you're a 2-loss team, you want to avoid playing in the SECCG because you're already in the final 12 and a 3rd loss would kick you out. I'm not sure I see us in the final 12 under that scenario because we'd be the 5th to get in (behind Tx, Ga, Tn and A&M ... but perhaps only if A&M beats Tx) and I don't see the final 12 comprised of 5 from the SEC (if Tx beats A&M, we might get in as the 4th ... but voters will look at what A&M did to us). So I think we need to win the SECCG ... and in order for that to happen, the 3 with one loss at the end of the reg season needs to be Tx, Ga & us. Under that senario, we play Ga and would have to beat them.
