I want some of whatever Brett McMurphy is smoking, because that would mean we beat one of GA/AL.

Does it? If we win out except for GA/AL, that puts us at 9-3 (5-3). UGA and AL make playoffs. Since Sugar is not a playoff bowl, they would take the next highest SEC ranked team? So we would need to be 4th despite being 5-3. I don't think it's unlikely that 5-3 would have us at least tied for fourth, I guess the problem is that if LSU or UT are likely going to be with us at 5-3 and would be taken by the Citrus over us.

We'll beat 'em both and then lose to OM.

We'll beat 'em both and then lose to OM.

If we do that to finish 10-2 then that might be a deal I'm willing to make.

Nah. Citrus Bowl takes a 9-3 SEC team most years.

Nah. Citrus Bowl takes a 9-3 SEC team most years.

A 9-3 Florida, or a 9-3 Tennessee. Or maybe a 9-3 Kentucky. Not a 9-3 Mississippi State. And in his scenario, we would beat an Ole Miss team that he has going to the Orange Bowl. It's ludicrous.
