Upset as everyone else with injuries, coaching (debord, lack of Warrior PT), Dobbs play yesterday, burning Tatum redshirt...but here's my low probability dream scenario...
Ole Miss beat LSU & Bama beat TAMU next wk
LSU beats Bama on 11/5
FL loses to Arky 11/5 & LSU 11/19
TAMU loses to Ole Miss or LSU 11/12 & 11/24
Bama wins west 7-1, 11-1 (no other west team with 1 loss)
UT wins east 6-2, 10-2
Avenge loss with: Weisman, Jashon, Hall, Kendrick, Vickers, Kirkland, Mcdowell, Sutton, Foreman back...and Warrior possibly in at Safety (if coaches realize we need speed & power there; he looks beastly out there)
Have to put SEC champ in if both bama/tn 11-2...
If do this, narrative half team out vs Bama 10/15 amid brutal 4game stretch and missing 4 starting OL, 4 of top 6 DTs, 4 of top 5 LBs, and Sutton on 10/15. Back, near full-strength, win on neutral site when noone expects us to (would assume we'd be 20 point underdogs)...incredibly tall task, hence words dream scenario
Perhaps revisit OC in offseason
Playoff: Clemson, Ohio St, Wash/Louis/Mich, TN
If Bama run table, need 2 of below as a 12-1 Bama still on eye test prob gets in to playoff even with a SECCG loss:
-Louisville loses (houston)
-Mich vs OSU loser also slips up before big game so loser has 2 losses (or osu/mich is lopsided one way to eliminate other)
-Wash loses pac-12 title game to two loss or worse team
-Baylor loses
