OM does not have to lose twice. If OM loses once and Bama wins out, Bama is in the playoffs. At #7, Bama keeps winning and goes up as each team loses. If OM ties Bama for the west with one loss, they go to the SECCG. Win or lose there, Bama is in the playoffs. Look at who is ahead of Bama; Bama beats the barn, no way can the barn be ranked higher. So who would your top four be? Whoever loses between ND/FSU falls outside the top four, IMO.Nope, the Barn and MSU will both beat OM. Basically, if want any change of making it to the playoff, we have to win out and OM has to lose twice.
OM only has to lose twice for Bama to win the west and go to Atlanta; Bama wins out and they are going to the playoffs, IMO.
