So basically it boils down to "the SEC is the SEC and Alabama is still Alabama." Which isn't necessarily wrong, but still is in the realm of "our set of circular wins is better than your set of circular wins."

(All that said, I'm not convinced that PSU *does* finish out. And it would be rather amusing too if Arky pulls an upset. Of course then all that would probably lead to is Bama going to the SEC championship and winning it...or maybe LSU wins whatever tiebreaker, I dunno. In any case I am discounting Ole Miss, because fuck Lane Kiffin.)

I don't see Arkansas or A&M pulling the necessary upsets of LSU to shake up the West so that's largely a moot point. Ole Miss does have the simplest path: win out (Bama, Arky, State) and LSU lose once. That would give the Tigers 2 losses in the conference, Rebs only 1 loss and the h2h wouldn't matter, that would get Ole Miss to the SEC itle game.

For Bama to get there, LSU has to lose both games AND Bama has to win out.
