Still a 95% chance to make the Playoffs

You have to select Tennessee from the list and go through the exercise where you select that we beat Alabama, lose to Georgia, beat Vandy, and don’t play in the SEC Title Game. Playoff chance still at 95% in that scenario. Bottom line is we can lose one more and still be fine.

Oh okay. I was going only on games already played. Always fun to speculate though, I guess.

Let's not forget that Nico has been on campus since December 2022, he isn't a true freshman and should be better prepared for starting role. I fear he is similar to Milton, has all the physical tools but cannot process the speed of the game efficiently. Heupel's playcalling clearly demonstrates he doesn't trust Nico

Why are people just assuming we are going to beat Florida? And vandy for that matter? It’s pretty clear there are no assured wins left on the schedule.

Almost any team can say that

I'm unsure how you think they're coddling Nico when he's not seeing separation from his receivers to throw. If he starts rushing and throwing picks, will that help us? He's not the one calling a steady diet of counter plays and the conservative step back passes nor is he the one lacking in Yards After Catches. What ain't there, ain't there.

I'll fully agree the last play was a mistake and Heupel said Nico knew it, felt bad about it, and owned it.

This isn't a Nico problem. This is a coach not tailoring his offense to the limitations of his talent problem. If you can't protect the QB in the pocket, you can't expect him to "speed up" his receivers so he can throw quicker, you've got to call shorter routes, dumps, shuttle passes, etc.

That's not happening.

There are guys coming out of their breaks that are open. He's having trouble making anticipatory throws the past couple of weeks. He'll improve

Sorry, but watching this offense, closer to 8-4 or 7-5 than CFP.

Exactly, multiple losses still coming
