The College Football Playoff picture remains wide open, especially in the SEC, which is littered with teams that remain firmly in the mix for the 12-team field. With one loss apiece, Mississippi and Oklahoma were chief among them entering their Week 9 game in Norman, Okla.
Saturday's game was a significant hinge point in the schedules for both teams. The Rebels have an extremely manageable slate down the stretch, even if there are no wins you can pencil in during SEC play—especially in the Egg Bowl rivalry game against Mississippi State to end the year. The Sooners, meanwhile, have about as daunting a finish to the season as one can imagine.
