Maybe so. The top 7 have 1 or less losses. If Miss State looses they will go to 7 or 8. I'm not sire how far Bama falls but the Sec may need help.
How much does Ohio State loosing their QB hurt their chances? I don't think they can beat the Wisconsin-Minnesota winner with the 3rd string QB.
Also if Minnesota wins today and wins the Big Ten that makes TCU's win look that much better.
