They would be sitting somewhere between 4 and 7 right now. Just like UGA, OU, and OSU.
Does it mean they'd get in? Probably not this year because the schedule wasn't of their historical caliber. Or style points would have mattered more. Perhaps Kelly runs some scores up and impresses the committee even more. It's hard to tell.
But those are the shakes when there are only 4 teams that get in. Good football teams are gonna be left out when they have a loss.
