Unfortunately the field of 64 is not the 64 best teams. That is killed when you have automatic bids making up half of the field
True.
It’s really about being one of the 34 best teams that DID NOT get an auto bid.

And bids denied because of how many other teams in their conference were selected is wrong.
The committee doesn’t really do that. They often take 8, 9, sometimes as many as 10 SEC teams. If you are the 9th, 10th, 11th SEC team that gets left out it’s more because you didn’t have a great resume than some sort of “bias”.
I think LSU has done enough to squeeze in. But there is an argument to be made that other teams are just as deserving, so I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see LSU left out.

It’s a shame we’re even having this discussion. I know anything can happen, but damn.

I'd have to guess that of those 30 auto bids, at least 10 would have gotten an at large anyway. That leaves 34 at large bids and you can eliminate about 10 teams ahead of LSU.....so essentially, LSU needs to be in the top 45 right now, and I guarantee you they are that. Whether the committee sees it that way or not who knows.
