This is crazy and the chances are insane that this could actually happen, but if EVERYTHING were to go right for us, I think there is a chance we could still be in the playoff and here's how:
1) Bama beats Missouri. Has to happen like this because a Bama loss keeps Bama in front of us AND probably jumps Mizzou in front of us.
2) Oregon beats Arizona. Same scenario as #1. Oregon loses and they and Arizona both stay in front of us. Arizona drops below us if they lose.
3) TCU loses to Iowa State ala Oklahoma State in 2011. Drops them below us.
4) Florida State loses to Ga Tech. Very well could happen and I think they would also drop below us if that happened while at the same time not letting Ga Tech above us because they have two losses to Duke and North Carolina.
5) Ohio State loses to Wisconsin. Could happen and I think if they were to lose badly they would drop below us.
6) Baylor beats Kansas State. Have to have KSU drop below us. A Baylor loss only propels KSU further in front of us so they have to lose.
7) At this point it gets interesting. Can we jump Michigan State to get into the 4th spot? Not sure we could but it's possible. They lost @ current #2 Oregon by 19 and at home against current #5 Ohio State by 12. We lost @ current #1 by 5 and @ current #12 by 14. I think our resume is better but would the committee at this point put a 2nd SEC team in over a Big 10 team? Not sure but it's possible.
This would put Bama #1, Oregon #2, Baylor #3, and either us or Michigan State #4. This was more of a fun thing that could happen because realistically the chances are probably close to zero that this actually does happen. But how fun would that be if the entire college football world was thrown into this chaos?
