NCAA College Football Playoff Picture Week 13 - ESPN
Check out college football's playoff picture for Week 13
I think they use their FPI ratings to estimate how the #25 team would do against the same schedule

I hear u but a loss to us plus a loss in SECCG likely would mean they are out which sounds nice

Did anybody else do something as stupid as I did? I stayed up through 4 overtimes (or was it 40?) pulling hard for Texas A&M to win. Rarely do I sit through an SEC game and I almost never pull for one SEC team against another. But I knew if Texas A&M went down it would put jawjuh back in the driver’s seat. Not ever wasting my time again on that or allowing myself to get emotionally involved.
Auburn reminds me of where so many teams are in college football. A team can have talent but have some glaring weakness that sabotages their effort. It might be kicking and special teams, it might be being prone to turnovers and penalties, or it might be having a subpar OL or DL. These teams will lose lots of games but under the right circumstances they can put together one or two excellent games and compete with almost anyone.
Tech did that with Miami. I fear it’s too much to ask for them to turn around and do that again.

I was at that game. Everyone was wondering, “Who are these players wearing AU uniforms.”
I left with 2 minutes to go. The crowd was booing the conservative play calling being behind at the time. I was shocked to the max to make it home and hear AU won!
AU is very talented. The receiver corps is extremely good and did well with big plays. It reminded me of Tennessee in the 80s.
I was at the Ala-Missouri game and told my host that if this Bama team plays, AU can beat them.
Game day coaching still matters. I think Freeze is a terrific recruiter. But his game day coaching is very questionable. Still.

Kansas and Auburn have had some tough ‘luck’ and were perceived better than their records.
No unranked team has ever beaten 3 ranked teams in a row prior to the last three Kansas games. Kansas was, on average, a 2 point underdog, during that three game stretch so the perception for each game was nearly 50/50 despite looking like upsets.
Similarly, Auburn was a 2.5 point underdog to aTm, minor upset, despite ensuing field storming.
GT’s upset of Miami was much bigger, but to put into perspective, we were a larger underdog to unranked VPI than we were top 5 Miami.
u(sic)ga is a different animal. However both Kentucky and Florida were similar sized underdogs to the dwags and both had halftime leads.
If I recall correctly, our last three wins over the dwags came as underdogs of around 8, 11, and 5 points…

I guessed you were at the game. Too bad you left early. The really interesting part happened while you were walking to your car. For some reason (desperation perhaps) the conservative play calling was ditched for trying to win.I was at that game. Everyone was wondering, “Who are these players wearing AU uniforms.”
