The Southeastern Conference’s losses were almost everyone else’s gain in the College Football Playoff rankings, with SMU nudging its way into the top 12 and Indiana staying in the mix at No. 10 despite a lopsided loss of its own.

ESPN's Playoff Predictor still gives Alabama a 41% chance of making the CFP if the Crimson Tide beats Auburn Saturday. And even with a win against Mississippi State Friday in the Egg Bowl, Ole Miss would only have a 7% chance at reaching the CFP.
