Is there a scenario where we still back into the playoffs?

Looking at this rivalry week schedule, we need these teams to lose.
Tennessee, Texas A&M,BYU, and Miami
Whoever makes the SEC championship game, we need the lower ranked team to get completely thrashed?

Realistically, I know we're not up to par to win a championship, but that's all we have to hope for this last game.

That's a lot that needs to happen, but I'm in!

Anyone watching our performance against OU (along with the pitiful efforts against Tenn and Vandy) should know that we aren't deserving of a playoff spot.

Saturday's game was an indictment of every aspect of the football program as it currently exists.

Right now, the team is a joke...from the players and all the LANK nonsense to the coaching staff...a joke.

Right now we might lose to all three services academies simply because they run the option and we can't stop a team with a running game more sophisticated than just handing the ball off to a back.

Idk there probably is a scenario where we are in, but I do NOT want to make the playoffs. Give us some stupid bowl game so players can opt out and transfer and we can see what we are actually working with moving forward.
THIS

I've seen well enough of the Lank Crew and what they bring to the table with Playoff stakes on the line vs an inferior opponent.

I'm in 2025 mode.

I wouldn't think this team would advance, but as a fan, I would be much more excited to watch a playoff game where we might lose as opposed to a bowl game where we also might lose. Players play. Roll the ball out there and let's go.

And again, everyone thinking Milroe is gone after this year is just wishcasting. He might be gone; but he might be back as well. He apparently bullied Saban and DeBoer both this year. What makes you think he won't successfully do it again?

I have serious doubts that he comes back. We are on the verge of a Wr and RB mass exodus and I think his numbers are very limited in terms of actual support going forward. Deboer has more worries ahead than please maybe 2-3 players that want to keep up this nonsense

And that's it right there.....a mass exodus of skill position players because of the lack of actual QB play.

The lank and Milroe thing could cost us for years if that happens.

Best case scenario for me would be win the Auburn game....make a bowl and see who opts out, win with what we have, finish 10-3...continue the 10 win streak for one more year.

Just ready for lank to be gone, don't even want to watch the rest of the year, just get lank out of here and work for 2025.

Are you serious, Clark?
Honestly, I know we're not a playoff team, but with the way this year has played out, anything can happen in these last two weeks. If the impossible happens and we make it to the playoffs, would rather watch us lose the first round of the playoffs than win/lose a meaningless bowl game. But, if we do go to the bowl game, I am not super mad about it with the way our team played this year. Maybe just maybe, Milroe will opt out and we'll get a full game with Ty at the helm.
