The SEC likes to say that it just means more
and in week 5 of the season, that is
certainly the case with 5 teams now projected into the
playoff from the SEC. Chief among those is Alabama
, which not only got a massive win over Georgia
between the hedges, but now has a clear path
to Atlanta for the conference title game and a quarterfinal
by if they can navigate a tricky few games starting
this weekend with undefeated Vandy and Diego Pavia rolling into
town. Tight aren't the only ones who are back
in the chase for the national title as Ole Miss
joins the party. Following their big win over LSU
, while Texas A&M and Georgia are still hanging around
too. Oh, and welcome back into the mix
, Texas. Longhorns are on the road at Florida
on Saturday, but get a big break coming up
by missing John Matteer as Oklahoma's starting quarterback for that
Red River game in a few weeks. Texas has
a number of opportunities to stack big wins over big
wins, and for whatever concerns there are about Arch
Manning and that offense, that defense for the Longhorn
still looks like one of the best in the country
. The biggest loser from weak. was undoubtedly Penn
State. On top of more questions surrounding James Franklin's
ability to win big games after falling to Oregon,
the nitty lines have a lot of work to do
when it comes to getting back into the playoff field
. Because of their schedule, they really only have
two opportunities against Indiana and at Ohio State to impress
the committee. Even splitting those games is no guarantee
that they'll make it into the field at 10 and
2, especially when you consider the number of at-large
teams that they're going to be going up against that
will have better resumes and more top 25 wins this 00:01:26.265 --> season.
