But who's going to be in playoff this fall with those records? Ole miss and Lousiville. Conference Championship won't mean shit .. just stay out of certain spot in playoff ranking.... and easy road to championship.

That's only because the target is moving. If we're going on history, we have to go on those parameters. Also, with the SEC getting tougher, only losing two is going to be like losing one used to be and even undefeated in cases like Alabama and Georgia this Fall.

An 11 win season, combined with what they've added through the portal, and looking at their matchups this fall? They are a threat: easily could be one of the at-large invitations.

On what? I can see 11-1; 10-2 is very doable. Who are you chalking up the L's against?

All three has different QBs this fall.

A threat for the National Championship, which was the discussion, so let's say past the first round of the Playoffs.
They lost their best back and have a quarterback you have never been high on if I recall.
It is OM even if Kiffin is an upgrade. I know conceptually that should have no bearing on what happens this year but hard for me to believe Kiffen can overcome some of the OM tendencies and his own issues.
I certainly hope historical culture is a real thing for Bama's sake.
Nonconference schedule might bite OM if they are a bubble team, it's putrid. I think they lose at least two of their first twelve, there are five-six likely/potential games that they could lose (KY, SC, LSU, OK, GA, FL), at least two get them. Hope springs eternal for football in the State of Mississippi as they are both dodging Bama for the first time in fifty or sixty years, but they have a hard row to hoe.
I've said before that, given Bama's nonconference scheduling, we will never miss the playoffs with two or fewer losses. OM, with their weak nonconference schedule, may prove the opposite.
EDIT: Forgot I'd looked this up already...first time not playing State since 1947, OM since 1987, so 77 and 37 years.

In terms of difficulty: UGA, LSU, OU, and then UF.
UF: I don't see Napier lasting another season.
OU: I haven't seen any threat from the Venables staff to date. Their schedule can become brutal, quickly. I can see them starting off 3-0 and I can also see them at the midpoint of the season at 3-3. There's a realistic chance they don't win a game in October.
LSU: A benefit to the Tigers if this is a night game. TX vs OU will have the early game; who gets the afternoon slot on ABC? On the other hand, Lane isn't scared of them or Kelly: neither are the Rebel football team. What is he? Two of three since he's been in Oxford? He's .500, at worst case scenario.
UGA: I don't think they can win this one: stranger things have happened.
Through those lens ... they could get through those with one loss.
Not to hijack the thread, but how good is Georgia going to be this year? Their defense should be top tier again. It usually is under Kirby. But they lost a generational talent in Bowers, and an elite receiver in Mconkey. Even with a returning QB, I wonder how they will score points. Last year Bower and Mconkey saved their season on multiple occasions.

He played both sides of the ball in high school. He's been listed as an ATH and a LB. He's perfect for Wommack's "Bandit." I could see him as the "Wolf," or the "Sting."
When he was officially listed on UW's roster he was an EDGE.
