UMiss playoff chances.

[patdog]

They’re not quite dead yet. But they’re going to need a lot more help like they got Saturday night. Throwing out automatic bids, they’re ranked 10th & have to move up to 7th. So they need 3 of the following to happen:
Bama lose to Auburn
Indiana lose to 1-10 Purdue
Either SMU or Miami lose out (or Miami blowout SMU in ACCCG)
Georgia lose twice
Tennessee lose to Vandy
South Carolina beats Clemson & commute looks at head to head instead of overall resume.

The SCar/Clemson game winner is getting in over them. I really think who OM losses were to is gonna hurt them. UScar has good wins and have been on a tear lately. OM needs like a 7 game parlay to hit to get in IMO

SEC will get 4 teams in.

 

[Coast_Dawg]

Indiana would have to lose or something crazy lopsided in the ACC for the SEC to get 4 at this point.

I don't think so. Last week probably ended that.

In other words..

Maybe 0.02%. I really don’t think even 1 of the things they need will happen though (not counting South Carolina over Clemson which would help them).

3 loss teams have no business being in the College Playoffs unless all 3 of their losses are to top 15 teams with at least two of those on the road.

With a 12-team playoff & 12-13 game schedules, you’re going to see some 3-loss teams in the playoffs. I think should have gone to an 8-team playoff with 5 auto bids. But money rules, so we get 12-team playoff and some pretty flawed teams getting in.

• Big Ten: 3 or 4
• SEC: 3 or 4
• ACC: 1 or 2
• G5: 1 or 2
• Big 12: 0 or 1
• FBS independents: 0 or 1

If the SEC gets three: Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee
If the SEC gets a fourth team: Alabama or South Carolina

Ole Miss doesn't realistically have a chance with the easiest schedule among SEC teams and three losses, but they will try to convince the team otherwise so they play hard on Friday.

Clemson being above any of those SEC teams is absurd. But the committee came out said they don’t care about SOS.

Assuming Ole Miss wins Friday, I won't be mad if they finish first team out.

I think Notre Dame is in even if they lose & I think Big 12 champ will get in over AAC champ (AAC needs Boise to lose to get a bid). Otherwise I think you’re spot on.

Ole Miss needs 3 or 4 teams ahead of them to lose and lose badly.
