Will Ole Miss Receive the FSU treatment? Playoff chaos

[Bama Lee]

Will the committee decide to leave Ole Miss out of the playoffs? Head coach is gone. Major pieces of staff are gone. Some players may be gone. Will the committee leave ole Miss out and cut its own throat? Imagine how the SEC would react if Ole Miss and Alabama are left out. Neither Vandy or Texas get in. Some teams with strength of schedule of 70 something are moved ahead.

Unlike FSU a couple of years ago, Ole Miss hasn't demonstrated that the suck yet. FSU was obviously an inferior team without their starting QB. I don't see how they can leave OM out.

I think it's a possibility, but only IF BYU were to win next weekend, and Bama were to lose. At that point, I wouldn't put it past the committee to use Ole Miss as the fall guy.

I expect the committee to include Ole Miss. Seems there was too much outrage when FSU was excluded. An Ole Miss team without Kiffin is still more worthy than a G5 team.

No way they exclude Ole Missy. Those players might even have a huge chip on their shoulders and play way beyond whats expected. I wouldnt be surprised if that happened.

If they take into account missing players while deciding who’s in, then why don’t they take into account missing coaches?

 

[JDCrimson]

What if they leave Bama and OM out?

Apples and oranges...FSU lost their QB and also showed how bad they were without him. Kiffen is a coach, their players have earned the right to play in the playoffs...but its the committee....12 useful idiots

well....it does fit -
A "useful idiot" is a derogatory term for someone who is perceived as being easily manipulated to advance a cause or agenda without fully understanding its goals
This person is considered a naive or unwitting supporter who is "used" by the more cynical leaders of the cause.
