I’d be very pleased if Alabama missed the first 12-team playoff.

We have to by ARK, TAM and BAMA. This should be the focus. That is a gauntlet for any team. The predictions are just that predictions to nowhere. So LSU needs to take care of business with no distractions. GEAUX TIGERS!

Army having a potential playoff team in the year 2024 is pretty crazy

I think Bama is in. UGA on the other hand is out

If im getting this right, my thought process is that LSU must be losing to Arkansas or Oklahoma, and beating TAMU and Bama to not have Bama in and to be over TAMU. Also, does he expect Ohio St to lose to Oregon twice? Why would they be over UGA then? UGA has to have beaten Texas in this scenario because how would they have gotten into the SECCG over LSU who would have one conference loss? Iowa St winning the Big 12 is hilarious. Clemson makes no sense either. If they lose to Miami, they will have 2 losses including a 28 point blowout. They will also have zero wins over good teams while LSU will have wins over multiple 10-2/9-3 teams. LSU should be hosting that first round game, not them.

These are not prediction. This is how playoff will be if regular season ended today.

aTm is laughable. They will drop 2 to 3 on the way out the door.

That would suck. That's where we start the season next year.
