re: LSU Chances at the CFB Playoffs.... (A Deep Look at the Rest of 2014)

Mississippi State has to lose 3. If Arky pulls the upset this weekend, then I'll start getting excited. They play @ Bama and @ Ole Miss.

Miss St does not have to lose 3. In a 4-way tie between LSU-OM-MissSt-Bama, All at 6-2, LSU wins the tie-breaker.

It has bee discussed endlessly, LSU only needs 6 things to win the West:

-LSU wins out
-Auburn beats @Ole Miss
-@Georgia beats Auburn
-@Bama beats MissSt
-@Bama beats Auburn
-@Ole Miss beats MissSt

Auburn out with 3 losses...LSU, MissSt, Bama and Ole Miss would all have 2 losses. The first tie beaker would be record against the other tied teams:

LSU 2-1
Ole Miss 2-1
Bama 1-2
MissSt 1-2

That eliminates Bama and Miss State, leaving LSU and Ole Miss tied. LSU beat Ole Miss head to head... LSU wins the West.
