Ducks have the Beavs, Buffs, and most likely the Sun Devils. Miss State: @ Bama Vs Vanderbilt (lol?) @ Ole Miss Alabama: Vs Miss State Vs Western Carolina (lol?) Vs Auburn Florida State: @ Miami Vs Boston College Vs Florida TCU @ Kansas @ Texas Vs Iowa State I think the Ducks have a very good shot at winning out. ASU is going to be tough, but I like our chances if we can stay healthy. TCU has a pretty weak schedule, so I figure they will most likely win out. Bama has to beat Miss State and Auburn. They sure didn't look great yesterday against LSU. The SEC is going to beat up on each other, but I think it's possible that Miss State could still get in with one loss. I really wouldn't be surprised if FSU lost to Boston College or Florida. I'm not sure of the final order, but I'm going to go with Oregon, TCU, Florida State and then I think it's possible for a team like Baylor to sneak in. If you look at the top ten from the AP: 1. Mississippi State (won) 2. Florida State (won) 3. Auburn (lost) 4. Alabama (won) 5. Oregon (won) 6. TCU (won) 7. Michigan State (lost) 8. Notre Dame (lost) 9. Kansas State (lost) 10. Baylor (won) So Baylor is going to move up, possibly as high as 6th. They still play Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Texas Tech. It's possible they could sneak into the top four if Bama and Mississippi State both lose before the end of the year.
I will say this, if Mississippi State loses to Bama, I could still see them in the top four at the end.
I think there is a possibility that no sec team gets in. Miss state losses to bama and ole miss, bama loses to Georgia in the sec championship game. How great would it be to see the sec get left out?
It's tough, because on the one hand it looks like the SEC really could be left on the outside looking in. Miss State could lose to Bama and Ole Miss. The Tide could lose to Auburn, which SHOULD knock them out. I don't think a 2 loss team should be in the conversation no matter what. Auburn has two losses. Ole Miss has two losses. It's conceivable that they could be left out of the top four completely. With that said, if Mississippi State loses to Bama but wins the rest of their games, I think they would still get in. I just don't see the committee leaving the SEC out of the playoff unless all those teams lose multiple games. I could see Baylor, TCU, and Oregon with FSU at the end. That would make for a hell of an interesting playoff.
OSU, TCU, Oregon and FSU....... I wouldn't mind MSU getting in so the world can see the difference between Marcus and Dak!
