I honestly feel like if we win sat we will be in the playoff. 4 or 5 teams ahead of us will lose again this week, bama will lose to Georgia in the championship,and the whole top ten will be playing their hardest schedule left, while we play arky and ole miss.

I can't imagine making the playoff at 10-2 without winning the SEC, no matter what happens in any other games.

I know a few scenarios existed last week, but do any routes to the SECCG still exist?

I thought so, but now I don't. ��

We've gotta win out to get to 6-2.

Alabama is already 6-0, so they would have to lose to us and Auburn or they're definitely ahead of us.

Auburn is 5-1 and we're forcing them to beat Alabama, so they'll have to lose to Georgia and be 6-2 or else they're ahead of us.

A 3-way tie with Alabama and Auburn is no good, because Auburn would have beaten both of us.

They only way to change things is for LSU to get into the mix at 6-2 too by beating Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. In that 4-way tie, we would be 2-1 against the group, Auburn 2-1, Alabama 1-2, and LSU 1-2. Then we're out for losing to Auburn.

So, sadly, no I think we're mathematically eliminated because we have to have Auburn beat Alabama to even have a tie be possible, but then we can get past Auburn in the tiebreakers even if we bring in LSU too.

Best case scenario to get everyone to 2+ losses:

1. Bama loses to us and Auburn, and UGA in the SECCG.
2. Georgia wins out to beat Auburn and give them a 3rd loss. They're in at #1.
3. Notre Dame loses to Miami and/or Stanford.
4. Clemson loses to FSU and/or a suddenly 2nd in the east SoCarolina team.
5. OU loses to TCU or ***** the bed end of season vs WVU.
6. Wisconsin loses twice to Michigan and MSU, reg season and champ game.
7. Miami beats ND and loses to Clemson or NC state in the ACCCG. We'd need an upset @Pitt or vs UVA to get them to 2 or they're heavy in the discussion.
8. TCU beats OU to win the big 12. They have an easy path. They're probably in CFP, or, whoever wins next week between them and OU.
9. Washington has 2 ranked teams and probably USC to deal with. They probably finish with 2-3 losses.
10. Auburn will have 3 losses from losing to UGA.
11. Ohio State probably has the worst loss out of anyone in the top 25 and already have 2 losses. Our resume would look better. I'd be shocked if they don't fall pretty far in CFP this week.
12. Okie State already has 2 losses and will probably lose to Iowa State.
13. Wisconsin takes care of MSU in the big 10 cg.
14. UCF isn't gonna be in the CFP bro.
15. USC has 2 losses but conference strength would put us over them.
16. Penn State for all their hype have really only beaten Michigan this year. They've had 2 close losses, but I think they're out even with an easy finishing schedule.
17. Va Tech hasn't really beaten anyone noteworthy nor do they have a chance to.

Everyone else is ranked lower than us. We're also currently 16th in the CFP and 5 teams ahead of us lost. So, we could be #11 going into Saturday, but probably more like 13th, but possibly as high as 10th.

Best scenario above, which is mass chaos, we'd somehow sneak in at #4 with Georgia, Wisconsin, and probably Miami.

None of this matters though since Bama is going to whip our *** and make us like it. Let's accept reality and realize that we're probably going to finish 9-3 in a nice bowl game with a lot returning in 2018.

Holy crap. My head hurt trying to follow all that.

Why do we do this to ourselves every year?

Hahaha, because we're fans. It sure does build character being an MSU fan, and for my opinion, it sure is fun. I wonder though, who'll be right first, us predicting a win over Bama (it's theoretically gotta happen eventually), or the "experts" predicting when and where Dan will go to leave state (it will certainly happen eventually, if for no other reason when he retires, dies, or Christ returns).
