re: Bad feeling it comes down to committee picking 11-2 LSU or 11-1 Georgia if we win out

That’s the only time in 8 years that a non-champ made the field when the champion did not.

You're right. And it is also the only time a 2 loss conference champion was in position to be selected. The committee chose instead for a 1 loss team that didn't even play in the conference championship game.

Now, in 2017 there was no doubt 2 loss Auburn would have been selected had they beat Georgia in the SECCG. But they had all of the momentum rising up the CFP polls by beating #1 Georgia and #1 Alabama in the final 3 weeks of the season before the SECCG. LSU isn't necessarily riding that wave of success.

I still find it difficult a 2 loss SEC champion LSU with wins over Alabama and Georgia would be left out. But the committee is inconsistent if nothing else.
