Right now, we're at #17 in the AP Poll. Teams ahead of us that might/could lose:
#15 Ole Miss vs Liberty (unlikely)
#12 Auburn at #13 Texas A&M (loser will have 3 losses and could drop below us)
#10 Wake Forest at North Carolina (they could drop with a loss)
The week after has some opportunities for us to move during the bye:
#14 Baylor at #4 Oklahoma (a loss could drop the Bears behind us despite beating us)
#13 Texas A&M at #15 Ole Miss (good chance both teams lose a game the next two weeks to drop behind us)
Then by that point a BYU win at USC could be enough that a #4 Oklahoma win at #11 Oklahoma St could drop the Cowboys behind us. And could see us leapfrog #16 UTSA.
So I think it's possible that if BYU wins out, there is a chance for BYU to move up 4-5 more spots before the bowl game. I'll take a Top 12 ranking going into our bowl which would lead to a decent chance for a Top 10 finish.
Bottom line: Take care of business by winning the last four games and the ranking will take care of itself.Statistics: Posted by SpiffCoug — Mon Nov 01, 2021 8:58 pm
