I think the committee made a statement that if you were in before the CC game you should not lose your standing because you lost unless some other mitigating conditions existed. They have to preserve the motivation to get to the CC game.
If you believe that, I would suggest that its Oklahoma with the easiest path. Okie will beat Bama again purely because of defense.

re: DT depth?

I think its more important to prioritize quality over quantity. Signing 20 players just to get to 85 doesn't help if its just more of the same in terms of quality, and goes for every position of need. I would rather see the coaches develop the talent we have now if those quality players are not available. But at the end of the day, the coaches are the ones getting paid to make those decisions and I trust them.
I can agree with the premise that top to bottom the SEC is by far the most talented conference. But to suggest that the top 3 teams in the B1G is overrated is just bias on your part. That game last night was physical big boy football and Oregon could just have well competed with them. Sure, UGA or one of the other SEC teams in the playoffs may win it all, but they will have to earn it over one of these B1G teams for sure.
This same 7-5 team could have easily been 10-2 with a different coaching staff, especially on offense and special teams. Go look at how many 4 and 5 star players are on Indiana's roster. I think before we throw the baby out with the bath water it would be prudent to closely evaluate the talent we have and hold on to them.

re: Kiffin Is Emotional

Agree. He knows and he is emotional about it. At the same time, there is a timing and protocol that must be followed. The fact that no news has come out regarding LSU aggressively pursuing alternate candidates is more telling than all the speculation by talking experts.
There is the possibility that Kiffin could have a last minute change of heart but I don't think he will. A head coach cannot reasonably be expected to be the head coach for two teams at the same time. So its not reasonable to expect that Kiffin will formally accept the LSU job and still coach Ole Miss in the playoffs. It's equally important to both schools to have their 2026 head coach in position immediately due to the early signing period followed by the transfer portal. So come tomorrow or Saturday, Kiffin will likely and officially be named LSU head coach.
To be fair, I changed my prediction to 7-5 after the Clemson game. That's when I realized our offense was not going to score enough points to get us the wins in the tougher games.
