How does it end up if the following scenario:

1. LSU wins out, SEC championship.
2. Georgia 1 loss, only in the SEC championship to LSU.
3. Tennesse wins remaining games.
4. 1 of Michigan or Ohio state 1 loss the other conference champ undefeated
5. Oregon wins out
6. TCU wins out

Would the keep out TCU again or a 1 loss oregon team/big 10 team to keep 2 SEC teams in.

LSU has ugly losses. Will they jump us in and keep the other 2 sec teams out?

If that scenario plays out, we don’t sniff the playoffs.

your playoff teams would be LSU, Big Ten Champ, TCU and Oregon...

That is one of the worst case scenarios for LSU.
That being said I’m just happy where we are right now and hope we finish out the season with wins

In that scenario, you leave out Oregon and Tennessee. Feel for Tennessee but they lost when it mattered most and got destroyed by Georgia. Oregon doesn’t have the top 10 wins like LSU would.

According to your scenario:

1. OSU/Mich (13-0) - B10 Champ
2. Georgia (12-1) - SEC Runner Up
3. TCU (13-0) - Big 12 Champ
4. LSU (11-2) - SEC Champ

5. Oregon (12-1) - PAC 12 Champ
6. Tennessee (11-1)
7. Michigan (11-1)

The results would be:

2. UGA
3. TCU
4. LSU

Tennessee's arse is sitting at home.

No way if LSU beat #7 Ole Miss, #6 Alabama, and #1 Georgia they don't get at least a 4 seed.

That would be an upward trend in playing the best ball in the country when it mattered the most.

They take the 4 conference champs and move it along.

Is all this talk really fun? Do we really think we will beat that UGA team in Atlanta?

As it stands now a 12 team ply off game would be fun! I think we would get a play off game at home.

Based on short term history(10 years), how do you keep SEC champion out of the final 4?

My dream scenario.... nightmare for the CFP

LSU wins out and wins the SEC.

UGA finishes 12-1 with sole loss to us in SECCG
UT finishes 11-1
Ole Miss finishes 11-1

TCU loses a game.
Oregon, UCLA, Clemson and USC all lose 1 more game.
Michigan loses to Nebraska beats OSU loses in Big 10 title game to Illinois

OSU loses to Michigan and Maryland

CFP playoff is LSU, Ole Miss, UGA, and UT. College football breaks.

Lsu
Osu
Org
TCU

This hype about UGA is overblown...they only played two ranked teams...one against an out of the gates Oregon and a tired Tennesse...remember they struggled againt unranked teams...I would put Tennesee before them if they dont win out.

If LSU and Tenn win out, and UGA but for SECCG, but also TcU and Oregon, we sit at 5th. If all that but Oregon or TCU lose one, we're in.

All this hand wringing is pointless. If we win out, and I've repeated this phrase a number of times, but there is not a reality in the multiverse where the SEC champion is left out. I will not ever happen. The SEC Champion is always in, no matter what.

Just take it one week at a time and pull for the games that matter. This week, those games are:

LSU over Arkansas (convincingly)
Alabama over Ole Miss in a tight game
Texas over TCU, preferably in a blowout
Florida State over Syracuse

All of those help LSU's case and there is a great chance that this is how these games go this weekend. If so, LSU creeps up to #6. The Florida State game does not have a direct impact, but it helps make the opening loss look a little better. Now for a little lagniappe:

Washington over Oregon
Miss St over Georgia
Mizzou over Tennessee

If Oregon loses (plus a TCU loss), LSU should move up to #5, just one spot out of the playoffs with 3 more weeks (including the conference championship games) of potential chaos to move up to #4. Mizzou damn near beat Georgia earlier in the year, so anything is possible and another loss by Tennessee would remove them as a threat. Miss State can hang, but it is highly unlikely that they will and, frankly, a Georgia loss isn't vitally important. I have a feeling that if LSU were to beat them in Atlanta, the committee would have a hard time keeping out an SEC Champ LSU for the team that they just beat head to head.
