Depends on a few things

A. How bad does OSU beat Indiana?
B. Assuming Texas Tech wins, how bad do they beat BYU?
C. How close is the SEC Championship (Bama wins)?

I think if OSU wins by 14+, TTU wins 14+ and Bama wins <7pts, they'll do OSU, TTU, Indiana, Bama, UGA, Oregon

They'd have 2 wins over the #3 team in the penultimate poll. Fell 6 spots for losing to current #8 just a few weeks ago. Not unreasonable to jump 5 by beating the current #3 again

UGA would have 2 losses but to the same team that's likely to be top 5. Best win is current #6.

Oregon has a 10pt loss to #3, best win is #16.

Bama’s 3rd loss would come to a team they also already beat, so it nets out

You sound scared of potentially losing to Bama 3x in one year, and are lobbying for a worse team to get in so you can feel safe

Basically, with the regular season completed, we now have full resume's for all teams sans conference championship games which should be viewed almost separately

Comparing Bama's full resume to that of Notre Dame's after a settled field of results, Bama's is better.
Full stop.

For this reason, Bama will jump Notre Dame as somewhat of a "course correction" from the previous mistake of keeping ND ahead of Bama. Vegas knows this, which is why they are placing significantly better odds for Bama than ND

Bama lost a season opening OOC game to a team that just fired their coach.

Did this news just break or something

IF we make the SECCG, is it possible -

1) for Bama to decline participation
2) if participating can the game end in tie so that SEC ensures maximum teams in playoffs?

frick this

First thing I do when I look at stats is filter out FCS games

Next thing I do is completely ignore low value stats which is basically anything that start with “total”

Missouri win, USC win would be great for us I think

A Cinci win would be some good insurance too

Also beating Auburn should move us ahead of Notre Dame since we’ll have full body of work, and we’ll be doing to a conference championship while ND holds their dicks

Losing to a bad Auburn team with a chance to go to the playoffs would be embarrassing

---

They're top 30-35 in most metric systems and top 25 in several.
They have the 13th most talented roster in the country.
They've only lost 1 game by more than 7pts (UGA)

While I agree its a season killer if we lose to them, they're far from "bad"

“roster personal”

How does your kicker factor into giving up 44 at home?

He play linebacker too or something?
