What’s better for State? A2M or Bama winning?

[SirBarksalot]

Or does it matter?

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

You never know how it all plays out. In the end, you would want the team to lose that is closest to you in the final standings.
If your goal is Atlanta, you root for A&M.

 

[Dawgbite]

If we were to win out, it doesn’t matter. We would hold the tiebreaker over both.

Yeah, I think this is the correct answer.

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

I don’t think it’s likely we win out at all. Just too many tough games. I think 10-2 is our best case barring a miracle. We will need some chaos in the West and the tiebreakers to fall our way to get to Atlanta. But if our one loss from here is Georgia, I would like our chances to get to Atlanta.

This is a great finish nonetheless

If your goal is for Ole Miss to go to Atlanta, you root for A&M too. They have way more to gain than we do. They actually have the schedule that would allow it to happen.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Only LSU owns a tie breaker against us right now.

Ole Miss would have to beat Alabama anyway for it to be a factor.

I just don’t see it with them this year. They haven’t played anyone worthwhile yet. I think they are a 4-4 or 5-3 team in the SEC this year. I’m just not worried that they have a good path to Atlanta yet.

 

[L4Dawg]

Heck of a game. There is no doubt Bama missed Young. I think we have a new #1 tomorrow.

Until they get beat......

Not understanding this question as if you have to think what the correct answer is.

They don’t play UGA. That plus the fact they don’t have a loss yet automatically gives them a far better path than we’ve got. You’ve gotta be able to get to 10-2 at absolute minimum to win today’s SEC West, and that just ain’t in the cards for us with this schedule.

I don’t know that OM can get to 10-2 either, but they have an outside chance at least with Bama and us at home.

We can get to 10-2. It’s not the most likely result. I think 9-3 is the most likely result. But 10-2 is within the realm of possibility. And we’ve got a better shot at 10-2 than Ole Miss does. I don’t care what their record is right now. They will likely be underdogs in 4 games (A&M, Bama, LSU, and us). We will likely be underdogs in just 2.

Probably now, but that was posted before tonight’s outcome. Had Bama lost tonight and in Knoxville next week, OM could have lost to Bama and still have a path.

There’s no way that 9-3 is our most likely result. Don’t do this to yourself.

Is the Spirit not happening enough for ya?

So I’m a secret Rebel for pointing out that one of two teams plays the #2 team in the country and the defending national champs, and the other plays 17ing Vanderbilt instead? Got it.

They’ve got a 1 game edge on us in terms of strength of schedule (Georgia vs Vandy). We have a much better team though and are at least a game better than them talent wise. In the end, I think we both end up at 9-3. We lose to Bama and Georgia. They lose to us, LSU, and Bama.

I’d love for you to be right, but I fully expect us to be underdogs in Oxford.

Lately the trend has been that we don’t do well in the Egg Bowl when both teams are at least decent. We’re 1-5 against them in the past 10 years in games where both teams finish the regular season .500 or better. That’s going to be the case again this year…..hopefully the result changes.

I mean it kinda is tho. Remainder of schedule:

Kentucky (away)
Alabama (away)
Auburn (home)
Georgia (home)
East Tenn (home)
Ole Miss (away)

That’s brutal.

 

[Dawgg]

I’d say we want Bama to win. They ain’t gonna lose more than once this season and I’d rather that be against State.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

A2M or Bama winning?​

Yes

We are winning all of those by 20+
