10-2 is the magic record. Kentucky based on the schedule? Missouri has a tough road ahead. Is Taylor healthy now after bye week?

Give me the Wildcats.

It's not though. 10-2 puts you in the mix but if there are too many 10-2 teams to put them all in, they won't get in.

Vandy got left out last year at 10-2.

When it comes to "last man out", often times the one left out is the team with the least history of success. MSU, UK and Mizzou all would be candidates for being left out at 10-2 just like Vandy was last year.

Texas had a god awful loss to UF and Vandy had a loss to Texas so they couldn’t jump them

10-2 isn’t guaranteed but most years will put you in

On the road at OU, MIZZOU, and Tenn.

That’s not something that could rationally be described as not a tough road for Kentucky as well.

Missouri definitely has a tougher road, but still…

Give me the winner of Missouri-Kentucky. That would be the logical choice.

Kentucky 2026 reminds me a lot of A&M 2025.

Next year, maybe, if we get some pieces (OL & DL) from the portal.

Feels like half our defense is injured this year not even to mention KT and Fluff

Mezzo. Solid in all aspects of the game.

Alabama made it with 3 losses. Granted 1 was in the SECCG.
Under today's rules Alabama would have made it in 2024 with 3 losses.

Missouri schedule is too tough. I think we are a top 20 team but that is about it.

We do dodge Georgia and Texas on the schedule. We do still have 3 ranked teams left on the schedule and a Louisville team that was ranked a few weeks ago.

Well, let's see.

Mississippi St will lose to Texas and Ole Miss,
Kentucky will lose to Tennessee and Missouri, and
Missouri will lose to Texas and Georgia.

So, none of them. None of them will even sniff a playoff spot.

I don’t see the wildcats losing 2 games. I think they go 9-3

I think all three go 9-3

I predict Kentucky will make it.

Mizzou can’t have nice things.

None of them.

All three end with at least three losses.

See, I feel like y'all are probably a little healthier and have the better shot.

Honestly, it's a crap shoot for the three of us. And how hard we can keep from reverting back to the mean.

There are rumors in Starkville that Taylor's injury is fairly significant.
