These projections means a one loss LSU is in and should be. No other team will have LSU's resume.

Rat poison. We need to either win out or keep the Bama came close.

Those picking Penn State are delusional. There is no way the B10 gets two teams into the playoff. The winner of the OSU/PSU game will get in & that's it.

Ryan McGee's pick of Penn State obviously means that he thinks Penn State will win their game with Ohio State as he has Ohio State out of the playoffs. The other pick of Penn State means a one loss Penn State or one loss Ohio State gets in over Clemson. Highly unlikely in my view.

These picks are based on right now, not predictions of the how the year will end.

Looks to me like all of those people think LSU will lose a close game to Bama cuz that's the only way both get in.

Nope. Bama can lose in a close one and still get in. Hell, bama could lose 3 in a row and still get in
