It all depends on other teams out there with 1 loss. The irony here is that a 1-loss Georgia or a 1-loss Tennessee, especially if that is a close game, might be more likely to get in. Here is the logic you will see, either Georgia barely lost to Tennessee. If it is Tennessee who we beat in the SEC championship they will say does anyone really think a 1 loss Georgia is not better than a 2 loss LSU team that was blown out by Tennessee? If we beat Georgia, the talking point will be how can you pick a 2-loss LSU who lost over the 1 loss Tennessee that blew them out in the regular season.

Agree in this issue. I think we would need the winner of the Tenn-uga game to be convincing, so if we beat that winner, the loser would have a flimsy argument.

Also depends on the results in B1G. Does mich/Ohio st loser finish with only 1 loss?

Do the pac 12 and big 12 have 1-loss champs?

Very good points. Really sucks that we lost to Florida State now, but seeing us play better as the season goes on gives me a lot of hope for the rest of this season and next year. If JD stays, we could be looking at a playoff run next year.

I agree with this. The selection committee will use whatever logic it takes to justify what it wants to happen.
