Can I just add my thoughts? Technically wouldn't it help if Ole Miss continues to win for Alabama, and Alabama also runs the table. I know as far as getting to Atlanta goes, NO. But playoff wise, I think so. This ranking shows the committee is using head-to-head and quality of wins, as well as quality of losses. Therefore, Ole Miss continues to win, Auburn gets knocked out, State gets knocked out (Both by Alabama as well) and the SEC Championship game is basically Ole Miss' extra chance to get knocked out, and not Alabama. Also, it justifies (if theres a way to justify a loss) the only loss of the season by Alabama to a top 4 playoff team on the road by only 6 points. Also, Alabama has plenty to play for to get in the playoff with or without Ole Miss losing again (2 teams on the schedule that are currently in the playoff, one who is and will most likely be number one at time of kickoff, and one team in Death Valley that already beat a top 4 playoff team and is on the rise.) Alabama does not need to make it to Atlanta to make it to the playoff, tonight showed that with how the teams are ranked and why. So win out, and no matter what happens from here, I believe Alabama is in.
