...they might secretly, or not so secretly, wish we don't make it. But I think these first 2 rankings show they could go either way.
I've already mentioned scenarios in responses that could allow the Committee to easily place us at 11th. And my scenarios aren't far out things like, Bama loses by 4 TDs to Fl, Georgia loses to Vandy etc. It's a given ISU or OU drop below us after their CC. Then just one more spot is needed. Most likely scenarios are; only auto bids for B12, B10, P12 or Committee decides against a 4th SEC, because Florida and UG both have 2 losses.
I still feel that another solid showing against a Liberty, Baylor or Nevada/SJSU would make it easier for the Committee to justify us in over a 4th SEC or a 2nd B10. Because anything more than autobids for P12 and B12 would be even more surprising than if we make NY6! 😂
