Why do y'all think we get if we were to win out?

No way the committee puts LSU in the top 4 when there will be other teams with one loss.

Well, I'm not so certain as some of the other posters in this thread, but there's definitely a possibility.

An 11-2 team which has two wins over top-5 teams?

or

A 12-1 (or 11-1) team which may have zero wins over top-5 teams?

There's a human element at play with the committee. Bottom line: if they think LSU is the better team, they will put them in. There's not as much automation and "lack of imagination" as there was with the BCS era.

They will have to answer the question of whether a two-loss team with two extremely quality wins deserves to be in. They can't just ignore it.

Currently, there is no precedent for that situation in the CFP era.

I think the talks are a little ridiculous, but winning against the top 2 teams in the nation would definitely be enough fuel to get us there. Bama would be forced out because of no championship as well.
