re: CFP going to 12 teams

Now we’ll have to endure truly mediocre teams whining about being left out.

It happens with teams left out of the NCAA hoops field even at 68 teams, but that discussion is over within a day of the selection show. At least we will be arguing over the 13th team instead of a few teams having a legit claim to the 4th spot.

Here’s how WE as LSU fans should be looking at this. How could this benefit US? How would it have benefitted us in the past?

The 2001 LSU team was nuclear blast hot at the end of that season. I’m not sure that defense could have closed the deal on a title, but imagine that team with that unstoppable offense in a playoff. People can say that a team below 3 will never have a shot, but that kind of team that catches fire late can make a playoff fun to watch.

Then look at 2006. Yeah, that’s another fricking trophy in the case right there. That team would have run the table and won it all and had a chance for 2 in a row. And our 07 team wouldn’t have needed a series of miracles to have the shot they backed their way into. They would have just won it on the field after getting healthy.
