Their Tiger mascot would not be able to take the humiliation again so soon next to handsome Mike

I believe LSU could whip anybody above them.

Obviously a lot can change, but would hate playing at Clemson when we’re scheduled to kick off next season there

That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. The order matters because it’s seeded. So how is it that LSU is ahead of Texas A&M, Texas is ahead of A&M, AND A&M is in the playoffs at all? If they lose both those games, A&M is not making the playoffs as a 10 seed at 9-3. If they win either of those games, then the loser has two losses and shouldn’t be seeded ahead of them.

Its possible that this is just their best 12 teams right now rather than the best 12 teams at the end of the regular season & Conf CGs.

A&M doesn't really have a good win. Missou isn't talented. They don't have the recruiting. Ole Miss is a good win. Beating South Carolina on the road is a better win than Missou at home. No reason for TAMU to be in this.
