TitanTiger 20,464 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Actually, it's not pulling for bammer. I'm pulling for Auburn, which involves MSU needing to lose twice. Since they won't be losing to Vandy, it's got to be bammer and Old Mrs. If that happens, and we can force a four way tie between MSU, us, bammer and Old Mrs by winning out, we win the tiebreakers and go to the SEC Championship Game. It's really our only shot at making the playoffs with two losses. And even if we miss out on the playoffs, we still can win the SEC. So I'll hold my nose and pull for the enemy because it helps us.

im4aual 486 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I understand the reasoning, but I just can't do it. If they win, they win - but I can't pull for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUbritt 611 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yep. Well, we need them to win, anyway. In fact, I think it has to be Bama and Ole Miss that beat Miss State (them losing to Bama and Vandy won't put us in, even if we win out). I could be wrong, but I think this is the case. I certainly won't be yelling RTR. But for us to win the SECW, Bama must win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumterAubie 3,031 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 This is how I justify it. I'm not pulling for bamr, I'm pulling against State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTsaysWDE 3 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I just wish we already knew the outcome of the Ole Miss v. Miss St. game. I'd hate to pull for bama just to have Miss St. end up winning the egg bowl. I'll just try to look at this weekend as a win-win. Either our chances stay alive or bama loses.

As for me, I'm not rooting for Bama this week, but I'm certainly not rooting against them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never2Yield 1,005 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I understand the reasoning, but I just can't do it. If they win, they win - but I can't pull for them. Then you hate bama more than you love Auburn. I want whatever is best for Auburn and right now, unfortunately, it's bama beating MSU. Don't hate them, just will not cheer for them, even if it "hurts" Auburn. Auburn needs to take care of itself and not need for Bama to "help" Auburn. A Bama win helps Bama, not Auburn.

AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have to pull for MSU because I don't want bama to have a chance of making the SEC championship game.

TitanTiger 20,464 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have to pull for MSU because I don't want bama to have a chance of making the SEC championship game. If I felt like we had a legit shot at making the playoffs I'd see the point. We do. And it really isn't that far fetched: 1. I think we are perfectly capable of beating UGA and bama. 2. I think if MSU loses to bama, they could very well lose to Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. If those two things happen, one of two scenarios comes into play: -- A four-way tie at the top between us, MSU, Ole Miss, and bama. In that situation, we win the tie-breakers and go to Atlanta where we can at least win an SEC championship. But I also think it will be hard to keep an SEC champion, even with two losses out of the playoff. In that situation i think the four playoff teams would be FSU, Oregon or Arizona St., Big 12 or Big 10 Champ and Auburn. But again, even if we missed out, we still won the SEC which is a big frickin deal. -- A three way tie at the top between us, MSU and Bama. In that situation, the tie breaker ends up dropping all the way down to a win over the best team in the other division. That most likely ends up being our win over Georgia, though in some scenarios it could be Florida. But otherwise, same situation as above. So, look at it this way: pull for MSU to lose. Forget about who's playing them. Just know that two MSU losses help Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think you can follow your own logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
