Well after an absolute drubbing at home, the Rebels tumbled all the way to 19 in the latest CFP poll. Getting to 11 is an obvious uphill climb, but it is not entirely impossible. A road win at Oklahoma, preferably in dominating fashion and two home blow out wins to end the season will put them in position to pounce if other things happen.
So now the list grows longer of what needs to happen for the Rebels to sneak in the last spot:
11. Kentucky to lose to two of Missouri, Florida or Louisville. Losing
to just one of them might still be enough
12. Texas Tech has to travel to Oklahoma State and Baylor. A loss to Baylor should do it, but a loss to both the Bears and OSU would be gold.
13. Wake Forest is at SMU this weekend and a loss to the Mustangs would go a long way. I doubt the lose to Georgia Tech and traveling to Duke could prove some issues.
14. Houston is the tricky one, they will have to be majorly upset by Colorado, Baylor or West Virgina. WVU and Colorado are on the road.
15. Iowa’s toughest remaining game is at Illinois. We need that loss.
16. Oregon has Michigan, Michigan St and Washington left. A loss to any of them is enough.
17. South Carolina. Just get smoked by the Dawgs and we good.
18. USC travels to Indiana and UCLA still. They need to lose to both, don’t need another resume win for them.
It would also likely help if BYU lost to someone like Cincinnati or Baylor. It’s a long road to hoe, but all the Rebs can do at this point is handle their own business.
