re: Even Winning Out, I’m Not Seeing How We Get In The CFP

Win out and you’re in. That would be two wins over top 10 teams. Plus, the CFP wants LSU and Kiffin in for the ratings.

but there’s too many BYU’s and Texas Tech’s and Iowa types that will have two or fewer losses.

You’ll see that won’t matter in 2 weeks if we’re 8-3 when the rankings come out.

Iowa’s only win that could qualify as a quality win be Wisconsin if they finish 10-2.

There’s a reason 2-loss Alabama is ranked ahead of an undefeated B1G team. The SOS in the SEC is being weighted as you’d hope by the committee to date.

Eta playoff predictor says 10-2 Iowa has a 65% chance to make the playoff, LSU at 9-3 is 73%. Our strength of record would outweigh theirs

I think we have to win out but if you look at the SEC

there are 5 teams with 2 or less losses.

We could give 2 of them their 3rd loss.

That has us in a good spot to be the 4-5 SEC even if the rest win out.

I don’t see the sec only getting in 3 teams. So it’s not a bad chance.

winning out is far from guaranteed though

Can't worry about that. Only need to worry about beating the teams on our schedule and controlling the things that we can control. The season will work itself out. But yes we need help from other teams to continue to lose. I.e Ole Miss needs to lose to OU this weekend.

if there is only one 3 loss team it won't be LSU. At this point we would need absolute carnage to make it.

the uk loss keeps stinging
