We still have an outside shot at the playoff

Bama and Clemson are both presumably going 13-0. The rest of the top 10 excluding us and Notre Dame each have 1 loss.

Let's say we win out and finish the regular season 10-2. Notre Dame loses a heartbreaker to a good Syracuse team and then to USC. They finish 10-2.

Michigan with already one loss loses to a pissed off OSU in the final week of the regular season after OSu loses to Michigan State this weekend. They both finish 10-2.

UGA has to play Bama in the SECCG and presumably loses. They finish 10-2.

Oklahoma and WVU each have one loss currently and play each other the final weekend of the regular season. If the winner of that game loses the Big 12 championship game, they both finsih 10-2.

Washington State could very well lose any of their final 3 games of the season and would finish at, you guessed it, 10-2.

I think with our schedule and depending on how we play these next 3 weeks, we could get a shot at the playoff.
The question is, would you want to play Bama again

I'm an eternal optimist with a lot of time on my hands since work is slow right now and yes I do realize it's crazy. But still, neat to think about.
