More evidence on LSU getting in the playoff

LSU could get into the playoff without winning its division.

Will never happen.

The voters are ultra-sensitive to this now. Therefore, if LSU doesn't win the conference, much less the division, then they will be left in the cold.

It was invalid when Bama was allowed a mulligan, and I wouldn't want one now under the same circumstances.

Why do you all hate this? I mean Jesus a one loss LSU team deserves to be in the playoff. Especially with it being on the road to bama

It's a ridiculous argument now, as we don't know the status of any other teams.

Sure, a one-loss to Bama LSU team would look great, but what if TCU runs the table and beats Baylor by one point in Ft. Worth? Baylor has been ranked higher than LSU all year, so their case could be made to go over LSU.

If OSU and Clemson stay undefeated, along with Either TCU or Baylor, then that leaves one spot.

The only way LSU maybe gets in with a loss is if they lose a very close game to UF in the SECCG. Even then, it would also depend on Stanford, and maybe Utah. If Stanford runs the table, then they make a very compelling case. And I hate to say it, but ND might also look attractive to people, especially since their only loss would have been to Clemson.

In other words, it's still way too early.

Let's just beat Alabama and not worry about the stupidity

Not impossible if some more teams lose.

Stanford won't lose again.

Nice completely shameless rip off take bro..

Florida would have to lose to FSU and then beat Bama for all that to happen

5. Don't sleep on LSU pulling an Alabama and getting in the playoff without winning its division.

Scenario: Alabama beats LSU head-to-head to win the SEC West tiebreak, but both teams finish with a lone loss on the season. Alabama loses to a Florida or Georgia team with two losses and 10-1 LSU has the best resume of any SEC team, particularly if Florida beats Alabama since LSU beat Florida head-to-head.

Look out, LSU could get into the playoff without winning its division.

By the way, divisions make no sense in a college playoff era. Why in the world do the SEC East and the SEC West need to exist? I'd get the NCAA rule requiring divisions eliminated -- right now divisions are required to play a conference title game -- eliminate all divisions instead and take the top two teams from every conference.

It makes particular sense in the SEC, where you could eliminate the necessity of needing to play all five teams in your division and instead play three yearly rivals and rotate through the rest of the conference with five additional games every year. This way every team in the SEC would play every other team in the SEC every two years. This would also mean that every SEC team would play every other SEC team in home and homes every four years. So instead of, for instance, 12 years passing between Alabama going to Georgia or vice versa, you'd play every team home and away every four years.
