If OU and LSU finish the year in the range of 8-4 or 9-3 and OM only loss is to UGA, does OM miss the playoff due to their weak schedule?
OM Schedule
- Thread starter pcdog2017
- Start date
NEITHER will get in with 4 losses & they probably won’t make it with 3 losses.
Is this a “click” bait Q??

An 11-1 SEC team is in regardless of which 11 they beat and the records of the 11 they beat.
10-2 is where an SEC team might have to look at their SOS and how the rest of the conference and country shake out.

After week 1, you are really asking hypothetical questions about 4 other conference teams?
Even then, very unlikely a 10-2 SEC team gets left out. 9-3, not much of a chance.
Disagree if Texas, UGA, Tennessee, and possibly Alabama are all in contention of the playoff
Only asking if an 11-1 OM’s best win is against an 8-4 team do they make or miss the playoff
I agree with this if and only if these 4 stay in the Top 12 and Ole' Miss drops out of Top 10. As long as the Rebs stay ahead of 1 of these, they will be in the POs. We just need to finish their hopes on Thanksgiving weekend!
Yeah that's what I thought you said. How about wait and see if they are actually 11-1, you know in 11 weeks from now? Or ease on over to OM Spirit site and ask them, I'm sure they'll have an opinion to express about their boys in baby blue. Would you really go over there and ask them a question about our schedule 11 weeks from now? No, I didn't think so
It’s a pretty chalky hypothetical. I didn’t realize message boards were 100% factual information
I cannot imagine a scenario that results in a 11-1 SEC team not making the Playoff. The debate to me is a 10-2 SEC with a weaker schedule vs. multiple 9-3 teams with much stronger schedules especially if the 10-2 team is not a National brand and the 9-3 teams are National brands.
There are going to be many 10-2 teams out there. Five spots are taken from conference champions. ND has a fairly easy road going into the 12the week. They could possibly be 11-0 when they play USC. That could leave six spots for a bunch of 10-win teams. I don't think it is guarantee and 10-win SEC team gets in. I feel pretty sure the top two from Big 10 and SEC are sure to get in. Will they take a 10-win Ole Miss team with weak schedule over a Penn State team with 10 wins? That is just one example. There will be other 10-win teams out there from p4's with tougher schedule and bigger fan bases than Ole Miss. The committee is going to look at everything when putting a team in because they know someone is going to be left out and they damn will make sure the 12 teams are the best.
The SEC could easily have a fifth CFP team at 10-2. 11-1 is no question.
In fact, the SEC getting five in is probably chalk until something happens to shake it up like the ACC or Big 12 getting a second team in or the Big Ten spreading losses around to get a fourth team in.
I think in the end the SEC will get four but five wouldn't be a surprise at all.
Exactly. I’m just wondering if their path to the playoff is as clear as most would think, especially given their schedule.
10-2 Bama in
10-2 LSU in
10-2 OU in
10-2 A&M in
10-2 GA in
10-2 Texas in
10-2 Ole Mis maybe
With an eight-game schedule the SEC could end up with five or six 10 plus win teams. Good chance OLe Miss could be left out with two loses. Last season The SEC had four 10 win teams and the Big 10 had four. The big 12 had three but two of them are now in the SEC.

It's a State message board though. You want to discuss OM, there are plenty of other places to do so.
They don't have to win another game this year, they in, lock it.
Hmm so the only threads here are about State? Quit your whining
There won't be as many as a lot of you think. And an SEC 10-2 team is almost always going to get in over a 10-2 team from any other conference.
We shall see. Uneven schedules make me feel like it’s possible for more to get to that mark than usual.
There's still going to be a lot of beating each other up going on.
Bama plays UGA, Tenn, Missou, LSU & Okie
UGA plays Bama, Tex, Miss, & tenn
LSU plas Southern Cal (loss) Miss, Bama & Okie
Miss plays LSU, Okie & UGA
Missou plays Bama & Okie (easiest schedule)
Okie plays Tenn, Tex, Miss, Missou & LSU
Tenn plays Okie, Bama & UGA
Tex plays at Michigan, Okie & UGA
All 8 of them can’t go 10-2 but there’s a path for 5 or so to get there and that may be enough to keep one of them out.
The question is how many other teams have 10-2 records ...the Big 10 is going to have several ...ND will be 11-1 at worst... the SEC will get no more than 4 in ....not because they don't deserve it but that there will be so many other schools that have easier schedules....
I’m literally discussing Ole Miss not making the playoff you idiot
I’ll never understand the obsession with whether or not OM makes the 12-team playoff. If the 12-team CFP had existed for the past 20 years, they would have already made it 3 or 4 times. It’s not like it’s going to be some new or more special accomplishment just because the field is now bigger. They have absolutely no chance of winning it, and likely won’t even make it to the semi’s.
If the NCAA basketball tournament field expanded to 192 teams, would we be all obsessed over whether they got a bid there, too?
