Hear me out: LSU runs the table, gets into playoffs

Ok, this is somewhere in the area of 1-5% likelihood, so it is an exercise in "what if", just for fun.
But, if it happened...The Tigers, after the Troy debacle, would have the following resume:
- A tough road win against a bitter rival Florida. With all the Hurricane smack talk, Felieppe Franks drama, and giving the game to UF last year with self-inflicted mistakes, this rivalry is legit.
- A tough come from 20 points back win over the Auburn team which we "won-then-lost-to" last year. If LSU-Auburn is not a rival game, none are.
- A road win over a dangerous Ole Piss team with a Louisiana native QB who is as hot as they come and wants to beat LSU bad. Throw in the Coach O return. Its not LSU's biggest rivalry, but it is still a bad blood situation for sure.
- A thought-to-be-impossible win over #1 Bama at their place. Again, LSU-BAMA is a legit rivalry.
- A win over an Arkansas team, Meh. But there is that Boot trophy thing.
- A win over a talent4ed-but-hapless Tenn team with nothing to lose, at their place.
- A win over a dangerous TAMU team who views a win over LSU as mandatory for their coach to keep his job. Its a natural rivalry, even though not the biggest on the schedule
- A win over (assumed) #1 UGA in their backyard in the SEC CG.
So...
- wins over 5 rivals
- win over (at the time) top-10 Auburn
- 2 wins over the #1 ranked teams late in the season - Bama AND UGA (likely in this scenario since our win over Bama would move UGA up)
- SEC Champions
Again, don't bother to say it is unlikely, we all know that.
But, under the assumption that it did, would the troy and Moo State losses keep the Tigers out?
Or would the comeback season, being the hottest team in the country, with 3 top-10 wins, two wins against tow different #1 teams, late in the season, and being the SEC Champions get us in?
Honestly, I think it would get us in.
What say you?

Unless Syracuse wins the ACC, no chance.

You lost all credibility right here before I even read your post. Now, create me another scenario of overwhelming impossibilities that hypothesizes that you're not a complete dickbag O humper.

Long story short, you're saying win out. Brilliant! However, we can easily lose three more games.

Teams that lose to Subelt conference schools are ineligible for the playoffs

Can you show your work? I'd like to see the math on that.
