You only have 2 games left, both in the SEC, so if you lose one, then Ole Miss goes to the title game, probably putting you guys in either the Capital One(against Michigan or Purdue) or Cotton(against Texas, Nebraska, or K-State). An LSU loss against Ole Miss will probably jump you back to 9 or 10, and to Arkansas probably to 12 or 13.
And if we lost 65 to whatever we'd be unranked. How UT is hanging around the top 5 still I'll never understand. It's not like Texas has ever proven they belong. They're like a Polish prom date or a missed putt. All lip no hole
Just proves the point, if you are gonna lose, and lose big on top of that, do it early. Its all rather moot however, as whoever plays OU is going to get resleeved. As much as I hate OU, nobody gets prepared for big games as much as Bob Stoops and crew.
