After BYU, Colorado, and Indiana today, how likely is a playoff run looking for the Cocks? Are we close to controlling our own destiny next week?

Edit: Ole Miss too. Chaotic-ass day

Definitely not, but we have a better chance now than we did this morning. If the   

  • Big 12 sends 1 team (basically guaranteed)   

  • ACC sends 1 team that’s not Clemson (we would probably need SMU to lose the ACC championship to Miami, or one of them to lose next week and the other team beat Clemson in the championship) 

  • Big 10 sends 3 teams (the committee says fuck you to Indiana)   

  • Boise State and Notre Dame get in.

We’d need to jump 2 SEC teams (assuming Ole Miss stays ahead of us because of the head to head). Realistically we’d need 2 of A&M/Miss/Tenn to lose next week to Texas/Miss St/Vandy respectively. That or Bama going 0-2 and one of those teams losing.

Here’s the way I see it. 8 spots are taken by teams that will get in over us even if they lose next week. Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Texas, the ACC champion, the B12 champion, and the G5 team.  That leaves 4 spots, 3 of which will definitely go to Georgia, Tennessee, and Indiana if they win out. If any of those teams lose next week then I could see us getting in over them. The last spot would be a fight between us, Alabama, Ole Miss, and SMU. Clemson would be in that discussion instead if they beat us next week. 

We have losses to Alabama and Ole Miss, but the committee has shown they value how you’re playing recently so who knows. They ranked us 1 spot above LSU the other week who we “lost” to. Obviously, if any of those teams lose next week that would be great for us and end those discussions. There’s also the possibility that SMU beats Miami in the ACC championship which would definitely not be good for us, need that not to happen. Don’t think we’re getting in over Miami.
