A&M fumbled the bag in the Texas game. Ole Miss’ lone loss is a one score loss to the current #3 seed. Committee got it right IMO.

Honestly my main gripe is the OOC scheduling. We asked Fox to move that game and they denied it. It was a good schedule when we were in the Big 12 but it serves no purpose when we moved to the SEC.

Simple fact is a 10-2 Texas team with H2H wins over OU and Vandy is in with scheduling (and beating) a cupcake P4 team like 90% of the rest of P4 teams do and have done for decades.

You will (and with Bamas announcement today) and already have seen ADs will change or remove P4 games because of this. No reason to take the unnecessary risk.

Ohio State is 140-14 at home the past 20 years. Why take that risk when you can schedule Baylor, Va Tech, etc.

Completely agree with all you said here. OOC scheduling will go the way of the dodo because of 9-game SEC schedules. What's the point of scheduling a tough OOC opponent when you can virtually guarantee yourself 3 wins? Why not schedule a semi-okay opponent like Tulane, Memphis, etc. as your big OOC matchup instead of Ohio State?

If y'all were 10-2 with H2H wins over OU and Vandy, y'all would jump either Notre Dame or Miami, easily.

Weis is legally not allowed to sign a deal until he isn’t employed by Ole Miss. Our official football twitter account just tweeted that Weis is on staff for the playoffs, so Weis is still employed by Ole Miss. The offer sheet he signed is basically an MOU, meaning Weis understands the terms of the contract he is being offered but hasn’t signed

Texas this year = Ole Miss last year. We had some great wins but bad losses to teams like Kentucky that kept us out. Texas is the same way this year - great wins over Oklahoma and A&M, but a bad loss to Florida will be the difference.
Y’all will probably be seeded 13-14 when it’s all said and done because of the conference champion automatic bids

Probably Florida if all we've been hearing from our beat writers is correct. I'd expect us to make a big swing at him today and I'm holding out hope that we can get him. Sumrall and Kiffin are the only two big names in this coaching cycle.

Hold on to your butts

It's really a weird dynamic that I never would have expected back when Kiffin was coaching Tennessee and hating on everything UF

It's equally weird for us considering I'd never have guessed that Kiffin would end up in a place like Oxford, or that he would end up coaching over 5 seasons for us. Good luck this weekend.

I love Dart btw but he did cost them the Broncos and Bears games with late 4Q turnovers AND he loves Daboll.

---

Dart's late turnovers in those two games were tough, but Dart didn't give up 33 points in the fourth quarter to the Broncos. Hell he even went down the field and gave them a late TD to give them the lead back just for their incompetent kicker to miss his second PAT of the game immediately after. Sure, you don't want Dart to turn the ball over and the interception definitely left the door open, but I don't place anywhere near as much blame on Dart for that loss as I do their defense and their place kicker, whom they cut the week after that loss.

I'm willing to give him a pass on the Bears one since he was injured on the play. The Bears DB made a good play on the ball, not like the time Dart just dropped the ball against the Saints. He actually corralled the ball back after he lost it against the Bears until his head hit the ground and he suffered a concussion. Regardless, the Giants had a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter and couldn't hold it.
