Sweet. Hopefully that will help finish strong in recruiting. We are currently 22nd in the nation and 10th in the SEC.
I hope so too, but for now, I'm more interested in our current ranking, our upcoming games, and playoff push. Enjoy this season!

If SoCal wins out they are guaranteed to be in the CFP. Indy, Maryland, UCLA
Sure, but SoCal winning out doesnt happen in a vacuum. For example if they beat Indy, Indy likely takes a tumble in the poll. The fact that we leapfrogged these teams and moved up 4 spots is a positive sign about the committee's opinion of us. They will have to make some tough decisions in a few weeks and somebody is always going to get screwed. But I'd rather go into that as a team the committee has favored strongly in recent weeks than one they haven't.

It's Indy and UCLA. They tumble and the SoCal resume grows exponentially.
You mentioned leapfrogged. If SoCal beats those two, under any scenario they leapfrog their way in.

I'm not a USCw fan, but just looking at the scenario provided, it is almost assured they work their way in to the CFP.

University of Utah was the first school to partner with private equity. They’re well ahead of the NIL game.

I agree if USCw wins out, there's a good chance they would leapfrog us back. But it makes no difference to me if we get in ahead of USCw, Indiana, or whoever. The point is if a team behind us wins out at the same time that we win out, it's not necessarily a bad thing if they are beating teams ahead of us. Fortunately, there appears to be a lot of opportunities for losses among the #6 through #16 teams (with the exception of Miami).

It would be just like Lane Kiffin to go ahead and ruin a chance for Texas this Saturday.
I can see both Houston and BYU winning out.
