So if the seccg wasn’t played

Not necessarily. We need the win over Georgia to boost our resume

Instead the SECCG is basically a playoff semifinal

It's basically a playoff quarterfinal for LSU

Double-edged sword. The benefit of playing a tough schedule is it puts us ahead of USC at this time and all but assures us of a spot if we beat Georgia, notwithstanding 2 losses. The flip side is, we play a tough schedule, which includes Georgia in the SECCG as opposed to a significantly lesser ranked team.

If LSU beats Georgia, the Dawgs honestly get really fricked over

Edit: assuming USC wins out

LSU IS #5

BEFORE they play UGA.
