If we win out

We still won’t make the playoffs. I think most fans have moved on from the idea of making it in, but just for the delusional few, we still won’t have enough quality wins. We will have 2. Ole Miss, Texas, and Tennessee will all have more. The committee rep was on the radio the other day detailing the thought process on rankings. They don’t look at head to head unless you are in the same tier of consideration. We won’t be in the same “pod” as TX and TN to look at head to head. If we are up against UK and OM we won’t have head to head against either. If I’m educated guessing, the 5 SEC teams in will be UGA, Bama, Texas, TN, and UK/OM.

It’s more likely we lose 2 more games if we don’t start finishing drives in the red zone. It’s kind of late for that at this point though

Sark going in dry. Manning catches crap but he’s an experienced QB and his record vs ranked teams is solid. And their defense may be better than Bama’s

If we win out we are in my man. We will be in over some two loss teams like BYU based on schedule strength and top 10 wins. You are also forgetting that those other teams have games left as well.

Not to worry; this team isn’t winning out.
Texas against a mediocre Arch Manning is a tossup.
Tennessee in Knoxville: very little chance.
Arkansas, we should win.
Which puts us at 8-4/7-5. The Texas Bowl welcomes us home.

Just win
That’s the only thing we control now
No one can say with certainty that we are in if we win out
As well as no one can say with certainty we aren’t if we win out
Teams keep beating each other this year so who knows

It’s not because we’d miss the playoffs at 9-3. You’re the butthurt delusional one. Butthurt we’ve lost 3 games to this point which is fair but logic says we’d be in at 9-3 if the path sets up right where Georgia and Bama are the only 2 teams with less than 3 losses
We’d need Kentucky drops to 9-3, Texas and Tennessee finish 9-3 since we’d have H2H on them and would be ranked above them putting us at 3rd highest ranked SEC team. That’s all likely to happen the unlikely part is us winning out and also finishing 9-3

Recency bias also matters
Of the 9-3 teams we’d be tied with we’d have beaten 2 top 6/top 8 teams in the UTs in 2 of the final 3 weeks. Committee wants to go with who is playing the best right now. That’s the question they’ll be pondering when deciding between 3 loss SEC teams at the end of the year

Not unless we convince the committee that overtime on the road is essentially a tie and we get the Kentucky and Ole Miss losses neutered.

What are Ole Miss quality wins?
That’s why we also need Texas and Tennessee to finish 9-3 so the tiebreak isn’t just between us, OM and UK.
Beating UT in back to back weeks at the end of the season putting them level in the clusterfrick with us, no doubt in my mind we’d be 3rd highest ranked SEC team leapfrogging them for playing the best at the end of the year of those teams. Really tall order for us though
