We're (hopefully) going to the playoffs, y'all

The Path to the 2016 College Football Playoff (is still open)!

Bottom Line:
1. We have to win out.
2. We need 2 of 5 to beat BAMA (Arkansas, Tenn, TAMU, LSU or Auburn).*

Details:
Starting October 8th BAMA plays Arkansas, Tenn, and Tamu in a row. Hopefully they slip up in at least one of those games (then they need to lose to either LSU or Auburn).

We get Arkansas right after they play (and hopefully beat) BAMA (wouldn't that be nice?).**

For the other loss it would be preferred*** for BAMA to lose to TAMU as well, that way we beat an undefeated TAMU that beat BAMA which would look better for the playoff committee later (after we win the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP***)

It all starts with Arkansas this weekend. I'll be cheering on the hogs, and then cheering for the Rebs against them the week after. For now, let's go Hogs! HOTTY DAMN TODDY. *Loudly slurps kool-aid, so unapologetically.

Disclaimer:
I'm still not #FiringHughFreeze if we somehow end up going 8-4. We've got a lot to look forward to for years with this team and staff. 8-4 is respectable with this schedule and a great record to have. If that scenario happens I will be disappointed but not spilling my beer over it. GO REBELS.

* = It would be better for us if BAMA remained undefeated rather than just lose one of these. If they just lose one and then they also lose the SEC Championship (and we wonout) they'll take our New Year's six bowl (unless they still somehow slip into the playoffs)

** = Now that I've speculated this: we will for sure lose to Georgia Southern, LSU, Vandy, and Mississippi State

*** = Remember we are going to the playoff in this scenario
