we get in over ole miss (yeah them dominating UGA at home which we could not do is impressive but losing to Kentucky (Kentucky’s only SEC win) takes them out. Plus no one likes Kiffin).
we get in over a 2 loss Notre Dame. Like Ole Miss, they will have beaten a team we lost to but a season opening win at Pyle is apples and oranges compared to a rivalry game the last weekend of the season that those the gomers have been preparing for for 13 years. Plus, NIU loss. In South Bend.
there is still the potential for an ACC/one loss Miami problem. But I think that takes care of itself (either they lose to Syracuse or somehow make the ACC championship and beat SMU)
This is also a lot of words for “who gives a shit. we’re not losing again in the regular season.”
