Potential final ranking prognostication

[Special K]

If we lose to Ga, there is absolutely no way a 3-loss team makes the playoff.
For whatever reason, this year there are a multitude of 2 loss teams, period.

Wrong

We jumped ND, and we’re at #9 now. This should mean we’re in the playoffs unless we get blown out.

just saw on ESPN we would play OU in the first game as constituted today, but CBS says we play ole miss.
We shall see next week when the final rankings are made,, but if we beat the puppies, can we move up to a bye spot?

Maybe if the B1G is a blowout.

The only real worry is if BYU were to win

With a win:

Booger and Joey said 5-6 seed. Greg said 4 seed.

I don’t think Booger and Joey are looking at teams. They just think it’s a big jump. But if we win we aren’t staying below an Oregon or a Georgia or an Ole Miss or an A&M as SEC champs.

I don’t think that’s enough to kick us out. Notre Dame should be worried though.

It’s sort of crazy to think the SEC champ could be outside the top 4. With our schedule, if we beat UGA…again…we absolutely should be in the top 4.

I agree that it was more of a statement to ND and Miami but you always like more assurances when you can get them. I seriously think the committee was hoping either Miami or ND would lose where they didn’t have this headache but here we are.

Yeah that’s how I read it as well…win we’re in, close loss we’re in…get blown out and we’re out.

I can live with that, it’s not like you can just totally ignore the FSU loss despite it being so long ago in the season…they’re a pretty awful team.

Tech blew them out the first meeting and is a 13-point favorite in the 2nd rematch. I believe Tech wants to remain the #4 seed in order to get a bye, so they want to win again.
furthermore, the game is in Texas, basically home field advantage
