They won all 3 of them.
This season they have lost 1 game....by 3 pts on the last play of the game....to the consensus #1 team in the country......all in enemy territory.
Likely the strongest "loss" by any team in the NCAA this year.
They might not win the NC this year, only one team will, but they most certainly deserve to be in the top grouping and get the opportunity.

70th strength of schedule.
Two games against ranked opponents all year. 1-1. And the one win is against a team who had 71st strength of schedule.
If we were putting together the top 12 teams for a tournament of the best football, I wouldn't invite them. They have 11 players in the NFL, which would put them at the bottom of the SEC right near Vanderbilt. I would say about a 5 or 6 win team in that conference. And those teams can be competitive with the top teams on any given Saturday.
I have no argument with them being included in the playoff because you somehow need to give a chance to all division 1 schools.
