If Ole Miss and Bama had not suffered those late season upsets in Gainesville and Norman, and everything else happened as is...would we have made the playoff? I'll go off the assumption Texas beats Bama in the SECCG:
1 Oregon
2 Texas
3 Boise St
4 Arizona St.
5 Penn St.
6 ND
7 Bama
8 Ohio St.
9 Ole Miss
10/11 (Choosing between 3 teams: 11-2 SMU, 11-1 Indiana, 10-2 Georgia)
12 Clemson
I think we would have, but it would have been close. It was close with a 9-3 Bama vs. SMU, and I think a 10-2 UGA with an even stronger schedule gets the nod, but Tennessee would have most certainly have been left out.
What say you?
