PLAPYOFF watch: #9 Ole Miss loses!! We have a shot

[Coastal Gamecock]

Florida stunned #9 Ole Miss

If we beat ranked Clemson, the momentum will jump us over them!!!

Texas, IMO, beats A&M.

The SEC will get 4 teams. Bama, UGA, and the Texas/A&M winner. We want Texas bc 3 loss A&M is then under us

All we would need to be that 4th team, with all this momentum, is Vandy to upset Tennessee.

OR…..some national help w ND losing, and SEC getting a 5th

 

[Coastal Gamecock]

The first of several unlikelies….happened. Florida over Ole Miss. Yes that puts us and Ole Miss at 3 losses, howver, they have Miss St left and we have top 15 Clemson left. We can catapult over them w the committee seeing obviously different trajectories between us and them

Now, the only games today that could help is Army beating ND or Kentucky stunning Texas

 

[Coastal Gamecock]

Ohio St blew out Indiana but the committee desperately wants 4 B10s so they’re in still

 

[I4CtheFuture]

What about #14 BYU ?? They're playing right now. I want everyone ahead of us to lose and then let the math, math.

ASU winning 7-0

Why would we jump a 3 loss Ole Miss team (if we beat clemson) when we also have 3 losses and we lost to them head to head?

I didnt mention them bc the Big12 winner is in and probably their only 1 bid. BYU losing would be fine, but if they or Colorado win B12 they’ll be in as champ.

We badly need at large teams to lose

I just think the committee takes momentum and trajectory into consideration. We are obviously peaking, Ole Miss is regressing. Ole Miss will drop to around 13/14, we probably are around 15. Us beating a top 15 the next week, while they play a terrible Miss State, I think we jump em, I just do, especially if we can beat Clemson by a good margin

Thats true. Everyone above us who loses only moves us up and harder to say no to

That's certainly a hope. I just think head to head would be measured more than momentum.

Lets say Texas beats A&M and Vandy upsets Tennessee, or Georgia Tech upsets UGA.

Any 2 of these creates a 4-way tie of SEC teams at 4th. We have head to head over A&M, Ole Miss over us, UGA over UT, etc so they would go to other tie breakers. I think momentum would be considered simce “best team right now” is what they want

 

[Coastal Gamecock]

BTW Minnesota currently beating Penn St and Kansas beating BYU

BOYS ITS HAPPENING

 

[Coastal Gamecock]

Minnesota 10
#4 Penn St 0

 

[Rhode Island Dork]

BTW Minnesota currently beating Penn St and Kansas beating BYU

BOYS ITS HAPPENING

Kansas is playing BYU again?!!

I see Wells had 1 catch for 25 yards.

That is certainly one hope. I imagine if we were told a team that we beat, but had the same record, got in over us. We'd be livid.

You are the most positive fan, but the most delusional.
There is no chance a 3 loss team without a conference championship gets in.
Get some rest. Your bong is overheating.

The Big 12 winner isn't guaranteed a spot, btw. That team would still need to be ranked high enough.

Head to head is one thing - yes...

But when you compare the losses, We lost to highly ranked LSU and highly ranked Bama by a combined 5 points......

I didn't look it up but I'm betting our losses look a whole lot better than Ole Mrs' losses.

I get all that. Then we can compare wins too. I'm just one of those that goes record- head to head - tie breakers.

Auburn 14
aTm 0

Auburn is helping us

Do you know Ol’Miss‘ strength of schedule? I wonder if that would tell us anything?

I honestly don't. I imagine we could come up with lots of tie breakers ideas. The only question is which tie breakers the committee works through first.

@Maccmaine12 posted the above which shows Ol’ Miss has a strength of schedule rank of #29. Decent but no where near Gamecocks. Surely SOS has to factor (/s) to the committee.

If SOS favored Ole miss, but we beat them head to head, would you still feel the same?

Alabama, barring a miracle, is playing its way out of the playoff right now.

 

[Bubba Fett]

The PLAPYOFF watch is getting wild y'all!

 

[Coastal Gamecock]

CHAOS!!!!! Oklahoma blowing out Bama, Auburn beating A&M

We have a path to 12

 

[Coastal Gamecock]

The PLAPYOFF watch is getting wild y'all!

Sure is

You are asking a Gamecock fan that question? We could have a SOS like ND and I’d have to plead the 5th!!!
