But that game 9-6 game was different than the MSU- Bama game because LSU never had full control of the game like Bama did.
That's why they got a rematch.

So you want to punish Mississippi State? Who has probably played the toughest schedule and lost one away game to a top ranked team?

MSU sits and home and gets to coast into the playoffs. Not fair at all.

It was certainly a large factor, I'm not sure why that's retarded.
If LSU won the game by 14 do you think Bama would have had a rematch?

I don't think any conference should get more than one team.

Not enough information given to answer.
This is the correct answer. We have no idea if the committee will weigh conference titles heavily or not.
The committee may rate each team out of 100. Maybe a conference title gets you a flat 15 additional points, or maybe it gets you 5.
Maybe the SEC Champ gets 15, the B1G Champ gets 8, and the ACC champ gets 5. who the hell knows what is going on behind those doors.

MSU would have the same amount of games played as Big12 teams, no? What's not fair?

debated putting LSU on there since who knows what they will finish at myself. If they lose again (very possible) they aren't a quality win this year likely
I get it and I'm really not one of the people here trying to argue that Ohio St should be out as I think the diversity of having teams from across the country is better and the difference between OSU and MS St is certainly debatable.
However, about LSU: they beat Wisconsin in a (relatively) neutral site game and then only lost to SEC west teams.
At some point you have to admit that this strongly supports an argument that some teams from other conferences may have taken an extra loss or two playing an SEC West schedule. . . At very least: enough to not discount beating them as quality wins.

This is so bogus. The goal is to get the best 4 teams in the playoff, not the best 4 conference winners

Those teams already had a playoff during the season.
I agree with you, unless it fricks bama, because frick bama

Since bad losses don't matter, you would be OK with Bama making the playoffs if they lose to Western Carolina this week. Right?

I agree that's not fair either.
Hence why the Pac, SEC, ACC and B1G should get a preference over a team from the Big 12 all other things being basically equal.

If they are one of the best 4 teams, yes.

As someone said, if LSU would've won by 14 points, the rematch never would've happened, no matter how much better Bama was than the rest of the teams in the country.

They would not win their division (I assume the first tiebreaker is overall record) and would have two losses.
So yeah, I would.

Which is why if MSU and Wisky have 2 and 3 losses, they would be SOMEWHAT equal to Ole Miss and Auburn having 3 and 4 (giving each an extra loss basically)
It's all fun to debate, but this is serious business to these conference leaders who have to figure out a way to get their conference champ in, and potentially give their 2nd best team a shot

You would be wrong. Western Carolina doesn't change them winning their division or the conference. Now give your answer.
