I just noticed BYU and Colorado both lost today. I THINK that puts Arizona State in the driver's seat to win the conference? 

 

 

Nope 4 way tie with those three and Iowa St. I was somewhat watching it and heard announcer say even if BYU/Colorado lost they still wouldn’t control their own destiny. Idk what’s going on. OU over here whooping Bama. The world is just topsy turvy at the moment. All I care about now is if my XRP stock continues to rise and make me a millionaire in 30 years. Football is dead to me and I don’t trust our basketball team’s undefeated record.

A&M, OM & Bama all busted today.

SEC may only be a three bid league 

TX, GA and TN are in barring a complete collapse next week (which anything is possible in rivalry games). 
 


I’ll go ahead and say next week 

A&M over Texas, GA Tech over Georgia and Vandy over TN.  
S Carolina may be playing the best of the 3 loss teams right now.

I think what you’ll see on Tuesday’s rankings is Ole Miss and Bama bumped out and Tennessee and SMU sliding in. Will be shocked if that’s not the case.

 

There are a ton of teams that are win and in next week, but it is rivalry week so you just never know sometimes.

 

If you’re wanting to compare who would be ranked higher between Bama and Ole Miss, I tend to think Bama due to having more quality wins and Ole Miss has the worst loss of either team. So I don’t think Ole Miss leapfrogs Bama without Bama losing the iron bowl.

 

Chaotic end to the season to say the least.

Could very well happen. Ole Miss is safe even if they play their worst game it will still be plenty enough to beat State handily. SMU is a team that has quietly put themselves in position for a spot. 

I feel like between Miami-SMU-Clemson the ACC is in a great spot to get two bids. Especially if all three win next week.

 

SMU should beat Cal at home, but Clemson-SC is suddenly a huge game, and Miami has a very dangerous game at Syracuse.

A day removed and I’m still scratching my head as to why our WR5 had 11 carries yesterday and UBIV had 0. Also hopefully when I get off the boat in 3 weeks and drive by Charlie Weis Jr’s house it has a for sale sign on it. Kevin Smith’s as well. Bring back Derrick Nix!!

Good thing you’re not me then. We have the SEC leader in passing and three guys in the top ten of receiving. Dropped TD passes yesterday isn’t considered not being on the same page. Juice still not realizing it’s better to use two hands besides just one isn’t considered not being on the same page. Again I’m more worried about our RB situation/play calling where we have to use a DL constantly on 4th and 1’s when we have a guy that can pick it up without the gimmick but had 0 carries. I’m more worried about why our play calling has Dart as the lead blocker on one of those runs where you have the before mentioned DL trying to stretch it to the outside. I’m more worried that a kid like Shekai Mills-Knight who will be a 3 year starter soon as he arrives on campus sees how our RB’s are used and decides to flip elsewhere

I’m not saying Kiffin is a bad coach, but I think he has done a pretty poor job with this particular team outside of the Georgia game. When you beat Georgia like Ole Miss did and show that high end ceiling, but struggle to beat unranked teams that other conference peers are handling…. That’s on coaching. That’s not on him hitting a ceiling at Ole Miss, that’s on a head coach not having a super talented team ready to play.

It is easy to be a Sunday arm chair QB but it is Kiffin has outsmarted himself. Puzzling to say the least. I do not know the ins and outs of certain players playing or not playing. 

One other thing that a friend of mine pointed out to me about a month ago but I dismissed it at the time. He said that “Ole Miss is mentally weak” because they have paid all these guys top dollar to come play as basically mercenaries. 
My friend is an objective person, one who is neutral where Ole Miss is concerned. Not a fan but neither does he dislike Ole Miss either. 
 

I am still not sure if that is accurate but the evidence seemingly points towards it being at least somewhat true at this juncture. 
 

It is still hard to win consistently in CFB especially with the turnover in personnel that is happening in the present day year to year.

who was it exactly who dropped the last INT? Dart was basically throwing to the other team . This is just an example of how even the SEC is and will be now that Texas and Oklahoma have joined. I have absolutely no dog in a race as far as state and ole miss goes and am simply commenting on what I saw. An Ole Miss friend at church just told me they just gotta spend more next year.....Oh well, I guess.

You’re right.  The losses this year are a result of not being prepared to play.  Not necessarily scheme wise, but mentally.  That’s on the staff and the head coach ultimately.   
 

I'm also with Wammie.  Why is the DL running off tackle with the QB the lead blocker.  That is ridiculous.  
 

As for Bentley not playing, I’d trust the coach on that one.  He sees him daily and his ass is on the line if it costs him games.

Just spend more next year.  Lol.   The coach has to have them ready no matter who is taking the field.  
OM is the model for all schools when it comes to collectives, but some of their fans are delusional thinking they will be able to spend year in and out with schools like A&M, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, Bama, Georgia and a few others.  When they figure it out on the level OM has, they will be pro teams taking the field.  OM has to take advantage of the occasional years they’re stacked and this was one of them.  Unless something crazy happens next week, it was a total bust this season.

Things have certainly changed at Ole Miss when 9-3 or 8-4 regular season is considered a total bust. 

 

 


That won’t be the case every year.  
Any previous year that would be a very good season.  Expectations like this year are not the norm, but with Heisman talent at QB, one of the best WRs in the country, the best WR group in the country according to some, all the money spent on defense additions, and that schedule this year was different.  
 

Maybe Kiffin will handle lower expectations better.

In the other football world, State lost to Notre Dame 2-0 in the Sweet Sixteen. Still a great year. Undefeated in SEC regular season play, conference champions and ranked #1 in the nation for several weeks. Tough way to go out but much to proud of this season.

Yeah it’s really rare for Ole Miss or State to have the roster situation that Ole Miss had this year…. Combined with a very vulnerable SEC and a conference schedule that avoided many of the top teams. And they just totally missed a huge opportunity.

 

If I told you before the season that Ole Miss would beat Georgia, what are you projecting their record to be? Almost everyone would’ve said 11-1 or 12-0. Beating Georgia and still missing the Playoff was unthinkable.
