There are still 3 weeks left plus conference title games, but I wanted to compare some teams we may be battling with for playoff spots.
There will be upsets and things will sort themselves out, but OM is in a really good spot. Peaking at the right time, only losses by 6 combined points, and most importantly, the metrics favor OM over a lot of teams. Utah had a chance last night to really help out a lot of the SEC teams (shout-out BIG 12 refs for being garbage). We really need to win the next 2 games very convincingly and root for as many 3 loss SEC teams as possible. Added bonus points to any team that can knock off BYU or Notre Dame
