I think you're right. Could be a shake up with the bottom 2 this week

 

[dawgstudent]

Ole Miss is staring at a more than 2 losing streak if they lose Saturday.

Tex a&m
At auburn
Arkansas
Lsu
At miss st

 

[msstate7]

They're in trouble this week. Tunsil is back, but conyers in out now. Hall and Garrett are gonna be coming hard after Kelly with no running game. Om's defense is no where near last year and I think aTm picks them apart

Call me crazy but I actually think we match up pretty well with Bama. Our defense is good enough to keep them from running wild, and in spite of how he played against them last year, I think Dak is the kind of QB you need to beat them. 5th-year senior playing at home and is mobile enough to hurt them at times.

Not saying we win, but it's a matchup that works in our favor a little bit as long as we don't go turnover crazy against them like UGA and A&M did.

It's crazy that we are seven weeks in and I still don't know just how good or bad any of the seven teams are. Even with LSU and Bama. I don't think LSU's defense is that great, and I'm not sold on Coker at all for Bama.

8 all of the sudden seems like a lot of wins for ole miss. Nobody they can't beat except for lsu, but A&M looks like a long shot, Arkansas is not a good match up for them, and egg bowl is in Starkville. Auburn might be the only game they're favored in the rest of the year.

You're not crazy.

 

[Shmuley]

Until somebody actually beats LUS, they should be 1.

OM will lose 3 out of their last 5. Maybe 4 of 5 if auburn gets lucky.

 

[ronpolk]

Agreed and I don't think anyone will beat them. The defense they faced last night is as good as anyone they will play. With LF and a good defense, they are going to be hard for anyone to beat.

Until we can get a running game and control the clock...

Alabama
LSU
Texas A&M
State
Ole Miss
Arkansas
Auburn

i'm afraid to rank us...you may underestimate upig, but they went to overtime with aTm and can control the clock with the run game...i'm tired of seeing us with 25-26 minutes of time of possession...one dimensional is not good...

 

[#ShowOff]

LSU should be 1. Until they lose.

Keep in mind Bama had three pick-six's yesterday against TXA&M. 21pts.


Alabama could've run the ball the entire game and may have won vs TXAM. Makes you wonder what could've happened in College Station if we had any sort of running game.

 

[prairiedawg]

I agree with your ranking at this point

but I think bama will move ahead of LUS when they play.


What happens with the CG in this scenario? Is it highest rank?

and before anybody says it:

I told an Auburn friend after our game with them I was afraid we just watched the two worst teams in the west battle it out. I still have that fear. Our offense (including coaches) muddles around most of the game then everyone (including coaches) looks at Dak and says "hey pal, think you could bail us out one more time ?" He`s the best player I`ve ever seen in a MSU uniform and he`s won a bunch of games for us but we (including coaches) need to give him some help if we want to finish this year out strong.

I think Bama will win out including a win over LSU in Tuscaloosa. Even Fournette won't be able to run on Bama's front seven. OM never had much depth and has lost too many key players. Conyers now out at Center as someone pointed out. They are missing Tony Conner on defense a lot. They may lose out.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Top tier
1. LSU
2. Alabama

Middle of the pack
3. aTm
4. State
5. Ole Miss

Bottom
6. Arkansas
7. Auburn

Could be some movement between the bottom 2 groups, but the top 2 are well above everyone else.

Not sure, but here's my breakdown...

Here's a link for the tie-breaking rules.

A. MSU, Bama, and LSU would all be 1-1 among each other.
B. All three teams would be 4-2 in the division.
C. You'd have to determine 4th place in the West, which would either be Ole Miss or aTm. With the outcomes you gave, Ole Miss would get the edge over aTm with the head-to-head win. Therefore it would go to the three teams' outcome against Ole Miss. Under your scenario, we would be the only team to beat Ole Miss.

However, tie-breaker C states that ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place. So by that language, you can't decide your scenario with tie-breaker C because you have to decide fourth place in order to decide first place. So does that mean it's invalid and you have to go on to D? I don't know.

In that event...
D. All teams would be 2-0 vs the SEC East.
E. There are no common East opponents.
F. Again, no common East opponents.
G. It goes to the cumulative SEC record of your Eastern opponents. At the moment, it's really close. But that would likely not be a good outcome for MSU since our opponents are Kentucky and Mizzou. Bama plays Georgia and Tennessee. And LSU plays South Carolina and Florida.

Someone should tell ole miss this so they will take that SEC West championship sign down in their stadium.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Dang. Do they even get bowl eligible?

That would be fantastic. Top 5 class misses bowl game their "Senior Year".
