What criteria did they outline tonight?

Player injuries
(re: Kelly Bryant & Clemson)
LSU has been played with a tattered D-Line almost all year and Arden is just now getting into shape.

Wins
Auburn. Syracuse looks better. Opportunities for Alabama, A&M and Georgia.

What have you done lately?
Biggest question for LSU coming in was how much would the committee punish them for Troy. Turns out not that much. They’ve taken the losses into a context of the season as a whole like they did with their inclusion of injuries into their formula. New coach, new OC, injuries to DL, Arden, Guice. Since we’re 3-0 with our last 7 quarters outscoring AUB & OM 67-27. Derrius, Arden & our DL are back now.

I don't disagree with your assessment with one exception.

"win out and we are in the playoff". Maybe. LSU will need a lot of help. Im not saying it could never happen but a 2-loss team with one of those being to Troy would be a tough sell to the committee. I realize it would mean several good wins but thats a lot to overcome.

IMO.. LSU would need to finish the season by crushing both Bama and Georgia, along with the rest of our opponents. In conjunction with that, the other teams in the playoff discussion would almost all have to stumble somewhat in the latter part of the season.

This would IMO create an impression that we are a team on the rise and the others would lose a little of their luster...

This would not guarantee that we would be in but I feel as though this would create a more compelling argument to that effect...
