Scenarios to put LSU in the Playoffs - PLAYOFF TALK
Posted on 11/10/15 at 8:39 pm
Posted on 11/10/15 at 8:39 pm
*LSU must win out in all of these Scenarios*
*2 of scenarios 2-8 must happen (only some scenarios are possible to happen if certain scenarios do happen)* (don't quote me on this one)
*The voting committee must not be bias and purposely keep 2 SEC teams out of the playoffs for scenarios 2 and on*
(ex of bias voting - having a team such as Ohio State jump LSU at the end if these scenarios happen just to keep 2 SEC teams out)
*A team currently ranked lower that 9 must not jump LSU*
*when teams lose in the below scenarios i am assuming that LSU passes them in the rankings, so timing is also key. Based on the timing of the upcoming top 9 teams schedules, it looks to be in our favor*
By "Default" LSU will be ranked number 6 at the end of confrence championship weekend without a SINGLE upset happening for the rest of the year due to numbers 3-8 all playing a team that is currently ranked 3-8.
In my scenarios i assume that Alabama(exclude scenario 1) and Clemson win out (highly likely)
Scenario 1 (not 100% of LSU ending in top 4 but SEC champion should make it in by default IMO)
-Alabama loses to either Mississippi State or Auburn
-LSU beats Florida in SEC championship game
Scenario 2
Ohio State Loses to either Illinois Michigan, Michigan State and beats Iowa in Big 10 Chamionship game (Iowa wins out regular season in this scenario)
*and Ohio State does not jump LSU the final week of the season after beating Iowa. This scenario could be to one that causes Bias voting and screws us)
Scenario 3
Iowa loses a regular season game and Wisconson passes up Iowa in the Big 10 West standings and beats Ohio State in Big 10 Championship game
Scenario 4
Notre Dame Beats Standford and loses to either Wake Forrest or Boston College
Scenario 5
Iowa loses regular season game and beats Ohio State in Big 10 Championship game
Scenario 6 Baylor Beats Oklahoma State and loses to either TCU or Texas
Scenario 7
Standford beats Notre Dame and loses to either Oregon or Cal or pack 12 championship game.
Scenario 8
Oklahoma State beats Baylor and loses to either Iowa State or Oklahoma *Oklahoma must not jump LSU is this scenario*
Scenario 9
LSU wins out and only one of scenarios 2-8 happen and the voters are generous and put us in over the number 5 team
Scenario 10
LSU wins out and none of the above scenarios happen and the voters are very generous and put us in over number 5 and 6 teams
Scenario 11 Something random happens that i have not discussed and puts LSU in the top 4 by seasons end
pulling percentages out of my arse, I say we have about a 75% chance of winning out and a 45% chance of 2 of the above happening, so roughly a 34% chance of making the playoffs with scenarios 2-8 happening. take out a few percent for bias voting and thats about a 32% chance
more statistics pulled out of my arse for scenario 1
75% chance of winning out 75% chance of beating Florida and 30% chance Bama loses
roughly 17 % chance here
What sceanarios above do you think are most likely to happen?

it's really not even worth worrying about just yet.
Posted on 11/10/15 at 8:40 pm to tigersint
I just hope bama loses to miss state. I'd be happy with whatever outcome comes after that.
Posted on 11/10/15 at 8:42 pm to tigersint
Bama plays MSU, a powder puff, and Auburn. Do you really think they lose?
Posted on 11/10/15 at 8:48 pm to tigersint
Some say you're a dreamer...
Posted on 11/10/15 at 8:52 pm to rsbd
i looked at all of the schedules of teams rated 2-8 and these are the things that need to happen. 2 of 2-8 to put us in the top 4 or number 1 happening

statistically only gave them about a 30% chance of losing one and Scenario 1 putting us in

WTF only bama gets rematches. The committee will see to it LSU will not.

Thats what i fear. But a 1 Bama vs 4 LSU rematch would bring in a ton of money. Only question is would a Bama Ohio State rematch bring in more money?
Posted on 11/10/15 at 9:05 pm to tigersint
I think the most likely way we get in is
TCU beats Baylor
Baylor beats OKstate
And
Michigan/MState beats Ohio State
Ohio State Beats Iowa in confrence championship.
Only problem is is that i can see Ohio State jumping LSU in this scenario, so Ohio State may have to lose 2 or pray for unbias voting

Trust me we are better off not making playoffs and getting embarrassed. Next year this team will be ready, probably will not beat Bama as usual, but we will be really good. This year we are just slightly above avg sec team.

Get in and anything can happen. It is not embarassing to be a playoff team, no matter how bad we win/lose one
Posted on 11/10/15 at 9:42 pm to tigersint
We didnt lose to Bama. We were utterly dominated by Bama. If Bama has two or more losses, there's no way their dominee (us) will make the final four.

GREAT READ !!! Loved it bro... I enjoyed all the scenarios and I BELIEVE it's POSSIBLE !!

Summary
At end of season
1 Clemson
2 Alabama
3 Ohio State/Iowa winner
4 Notre Dame/Stanford winner
5 Baylor/OK State winner
6 LSU
2 of the 3 winners of the games between numbers 3,4, and 5 must lose a game.
They all have hard games left.
IMO Most likely losses
- ohio state loses to either michigan state or michigan (ohio state beats Iowa as well)
- TCU beats baylor (baylor beats OKstate)

I think about a 50/50 chance IMO.
Definatly some good betting odds.
