Re: Another Bama player lost for the year: Labryan Ray this time
We would probably have to lose at least 4 games to fall to the Outback Bowl. I doubt even the grumpiest Eyeore would predict 4 losses, but perhaps I'm wrong.
Right now, based on what very little we have seen of the big contenders (OU, Clemson, Ohio State, LSU, UGA, and Bama), I would project losses to LSU and UGA if we get there. Auburn is a toss up, but I'd venture a guess that if we have 1 loss going into that game, and LSU is clearly going to Atlanta, then we drop the Iron Bowl too. Again: limited info as UGA has played NO ONE, OU regularly plays NO ONE, LSU has played Texas, and could easily have lost the game, Ohio State has also played virtually no one, Bama has played no one (USCe is = to aTm in mind), so by default, Clemson has also played no one. 3 weeks in, we've seen not much. No one is tested.
By the end of the month, we will have a more clear picture. Praying we don't lose anyone else on either side of the ball.
