ESPN Doesn't Include LSU In List Of Nine Teams With A Chance To Make The CFP Title Game

You forgot the "Geaux Tigahs" after the "frick 'em"

I think it can be done.

Just Georgia and those odds will rise. A 1 loss LSU team losing to only bama would likely = playoff. As we saw last year.

Big10 didn’t have a team in the playoff. Ohio St doesn’t play anybody else this year. There won’t be two SEC teams this year.

Yes.

Strength of schedule? We have the hardest schedule in FBS this season, and you gonna say we not being up there?

LegendaryTiger...he means because of the strength of the schedule moving forward (probable losses), he doesn't see us making the playoffs. This is the same reason ESPN doesn't give us a better chance. Our road is extremely difficult from here to the end.

Right. If it's too easy, they question your resume. If it's too hard, they say you can never make it through. I guess you have to aim for the sweet spot in the middle of the pack. I read the full article on ESPN this morning; one of their criteria is that you have to beat at least two top 25 teams. Well LSU already accomplished that, with at least 3 more on the schedule, maybe as many as 5 more if State beats Auburn and A&M strings a few W's together. Thus, our schedule is too tough for them to predict us to make it to the CFP. I'm not worried about what they have to say. Let's just go 1-0 this week.

That damn sttdb ,It never will go away will it?..

This. LSU won’t make it through October without at least one loss and Alabama is a gauranteed loss. That puts LSU out of the playoffs.
