If you guys beat Bama in the SECCG, then you're 100% in.. I agree. (unless you drop one more before then) As for Notre Dame .. you have to take into account WHEN ND's loss occurs. If its late in the year, to a.. lets say Syracuse.. or a down USC .. you still think the committee is gonna vote them in over us? Even if they beat us in the first game of the season?

We're arguably better than they are right now. And there's chatter of us jumping them eventually, since them not having a conference championship game is only gonna hurt them. I'm not so sure whats so unbelievable about us jumping them and getting in ahead of them if they drop one of their last 3?
