Fourteen teams have some discernable path to a playoff spot. Changes since last week: Added LSU (and I suppose UK should have been included last week for the same reasons but LOL) Oklahoma State is thoroughly eliminated from relevance. Penn State is eliminated from relevance. Wake Forest is eliminated from relevance. Syracuse is eliminated from relevance.
I think that is a real possibility. Imagine the gnashing of teeth if one of them is undefeated and left out. Folks act like the game against UGA doesn't matter, or the SEC championship doesn't matter... It does. There may not be 2 spots.

66% chance to make CFP if we lose to UGA this week. 78% chance to make CFP if we beat UGA this week but lose to Bama in the SEC Title Game. Meanwhile, UGA's odds are: 53% if they lose to us this week. 64% if they win out but lose to Bama in the SEC Championship game.
