So how does both Ole Miss and Memphis losing effect Alabama? If Ole Miss wins out the SEC is left out of the playoffs as far as I can see. Florida won't make it even if they win out.
Have you been living under a rock?
Ole Miss was in control of their own destiny. All they had to was win the rest of their SEC schedule, beat Florida for the title, and that would have shut the SEC out of the playoffs, but now, Alabama is in the driver seat. With a dominating win over a good LSU team, Alabama will get a playoff spot if they win out and beat Florida for the SEC crown. Florida could get a spot if they win out, but they'll need help out of the Big 12 if some teams take a loss here or there.
TCU is out. Even if they win the rest of their game by 90 or more, that 1 loss doomed their chances. The next 3 games in the Big 12 will be huge with Baylor, Okie, and Okie St.
Notre Dame could get in. They'll win their next 2, but Stanford looms as their last game of the season.
The Big 10 will be interesting with Ohio St, Mich St, Iowa and Michigan playing the spoiler.
As for Memphis, they were undefeated, but Navy showed them as pretenders. If Memphis had won out, the playoff committee would have had a hard time not giving them a playoff spot.
This season is proving more interesting than last.
