Is it really keep away when he throws 3 interceptions? I’d think he was more playing catch with their DBs.Bama has more talent.... Drink is an idiot and it doesn't help the back up is playing keep away with Bama dbs....
And that will depend upon the health of their QB. Was there an update today on his hand?After today, no, they won’t. If they end up beating Oklahoma, South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Arkansas to end the season as a 10-2 SEC team, then yes, they would ranked again in the CFP committee’s final rankings.
That’s going to be a lot tougher if Brady is out for a while with that ankle injury. I was a little surprised how much they got dropped with a 2OT win vs Vandy and then one loss, but the whipping A&M put on them and that whipping to Bama yesterday won’t help their cause at all.

There is no way in hell that beating those 4 teams is going to put them in the CFP. That's crazy.After today, no, they won’t.

Ok, respectfully, so you kind of missed the whole point of that conversation/discussion. I was never saying, at any point in it, “if Missouri wins out at 10-2 going to be in the CFP!”There is no way in hell that beating those 4 teams is going to put them in the CFP. That's crazy.
None of those 4 teams are currently ranked. They aren't going to climb that high, after beating 4 unranked opponents, when they have losses of 41-10 and 34-0.

The response came in the middle of a discussion about Alabama’s résumé in comparison to the Vols, presuming that Alabama wins out, Missouri wins out, and the Vols lose to Georgia.
The discussion was a concern that: if Alabama ends up winning out, at 10-2 with wins against a ranked Missouri, an (at-the-time-of-the-post) top 10 LSU, and a top 5 UGA and their losses being to a high-ranked Tennessee and a potentially bowl-eligible Vanderbilt…that we’re going to more or less be at risk of seeing a 2022-type scenario, where Alabama’s résumé and good-to-great wins could push it up over Tennessee’s single ranked win and possibly bad Arkansas loss.
The person I was at-the-time responding to said “Missouri won’t be ranked,” (that it wouldn’t be a ranked team / a win against a ranked team on Alabama’s résumé after this game).
And what I responded back was that if they beat Oklahoma, South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Arkansas (none of whom might be above .500 at that point), they would end the season at 10-2. And as a 10-2 SEC team, then yes, they would ranked again somewhere in the CFP committee’s final rankings…which is 25 teams long.
Not that they would be in the playoffs or in the top 11, just that as a 10-2 team in a Power 4 conference, based on history, they would still be ranked somewhere in that end of regular season top 25 (and as such, they would still count on Alabama’s résumé as a ranked win against a still-ranked team, alongside Alabama’s wins over a top 5 Georgia and what-at-the-time-looked-like-it-could-have-been a top 10 LSU team that Alabama could have been playing and potentially beat).
There was this from the last Tennessee Mizzou basketball game.
The Mizzou head coach was sitting courtside and at one point in the first half, according to SEC Network announcer Tom Hart, he was talking trash to Tennessee's players. "Look at this, Eli Drinkwitz is yelling, after a high five from Truman (Missouri's mascot), over to the Tennessee huddle 'you ain't that tough'. Still standing on business," said Hart with 6:34 remaining in the first half.
