But an angle on the whole “should South Carolina jump Ole Miss/Bama” debate I haven’t seen mentioned much.
When it pertains to Ole Miss specifically, IF you destroy State, USC beats Clemson and Texas beats Texas A&M, that rewards Carolina with a top 15 win but takes one away as A&M would fall out completely.
Ole Miss, who not only has the head to head, would then secure two top 12 wins vs their only one quality win (Clemson)
Now of course, you would need more chaos to make the playoff. Ideally, Brother Hugh pulling off the unthinkable (and more to remove all doubt) but I don’t see how you could justify Carolina jumping them if those two games play out that way.
