LSU and Tennessee will have a similar year next year. Right on the bubble, and one or two toss ups will decide if they get in or not.

do Texas fans really like this guy?
Yes. Should he have throw a bullet to AD to win the game instead of a jump ball, yes. That is just and experience thing. I would much rather see him return for 1 more year, improve his draft stock, then hand the team over to Arch.

Mizzou had a great season but lose a lot. That is especially true on defense.
Most of the D line, both LB, both (outstanding) corners and one safety.
They return most of the offense except their two best O linemen.
They have some good talent coming in via the portal, but I think to expect a playoff bid is too much. I'm cautiously optimistic.

The chance of a three loss team making the playoffs is slim. There are eleven slots to fill since the top G5 team is in. If you look back at the last 5 years, there are very few 3 loss loss regular season teams that were in the top 11. There were a total of 7 in the five years from all conferences. And a regular season three loss SEC team will not make the SEC championship, so they would be stuck at 9-3.. This year LSU would not have made it at 9-3 despite all three of their losses being to top 10 teams. Throwing out 2020, here is who would have made it into a 12 team playoff the last five years with 3 losses (after conference championship games.)
2018: #9 Washington 10-3; #10 Florida 9-3; #11 LSU 9-3
2019: #11 Auburn 9-3
2021: #11 Utah 10-3
2022: #8 Utah 10-3; #9 Kansas State 10-3
2023: none
So in 5 years, or a total of 55 slots, only three 3 loss SEC teams would have made it. And none of them played for the SEC championship. All of the other 3 loss teams did play for their conference championship and got a big bump from beating higher ranked teams. If an SEC team has 3 losses, odds are they are out.

doubt any reasonable Georgia fan expected Muh Threepeat. But you did. Draw your own conclusions.
Some things are reasonable to expect, like uga competing for a national title under smart, and the vols not finishing in the top 10.

Don’t confuse reasonable with extreme homer.
