Alabama/UGA winner, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State is who ESPN is picking to make the CFP. Do with this whatever you will, Ranters.

FlyingTiger69•56 months

Beating Texas 3 times in 12 months would be pretty awesome, but I don't see it happening

TaderSalad•56 months

No way Texas makes it to MNC

jimbeam•56 months

Would we really play Texas 3 times in 14 games?

KennabraTiger•56 months

Dumb

SalemTiger•56 months

Wrong...

CanebreakCajun•56 months

Nope

TwoDatBait•56 months

Rematch???? tejas ain’t making the playoffs....

tigerfoot•56 months

Nope nope nope 3 times in 2 years. That would suck

TheFlyingTiger•56 months

frick. that. shite.

RazzleDazzle•56 months

This is a joke.

VesperiaLSU•56 months

Don't understand the hype on UGA every year. They were dnominated last year by us and Texas, and they haven't played nobody this year, and yet these analyst are projecting them into the playoff and beat Bama in SECC? LoL

bluestem75•56 months

Neither school nor conference will go for a Texas/LSU matchup outside of the Playoff. Won’t happen.

TigerintheNO•56 months

It's no longer their choice. Both conferences have already agreed to send their highest ranked team (not in the Playoffs) to the Sugar Bowl.

GentleJackJones•56 months

I would love it, but for the fact that we are playing them in September 2020.

LouisianaLonghorn•56 months

Exactly. I don't see the interest from LSU fans for a rematch when we play them again next September. The Dome would be at least 75% burnt orange. I don't think we would travel well, even though it's right down the road.

Deke•56 months

Would rather play someone for the National Championship. Texas ain't gonna be in that conversation.

KCT•56 months

This would be 3 games in 12 months. Nope. If LSU doesn't make the national playoff, then match us up against Joe B's old team Ohio State.

dustytiger123•56 months

When has the top 4 at this point in the season ever been the top 4 at the end of the season? has that ever happened?

dustytiger123•56 months

Dan Mullen is gonna put the screws to Georgia....wait for it

bagboy333•56 months

No one wants this

ninthward•56 months
