That is generally true, and something someone typically posts to end any discussion about other teams.

It’s not true here, assuming one believes LSU has even a remote chance to get into the playoffs. To get in, LSU would need a lot of help from other teams.

To the point of the original post, I think LSU would want Georgia to be undefeated and number one in the country if we made the SEC championship game. That would give LSU two wins over number over number one teams, a rare feat.

Even that might not be enough, LSU would need some other conference champs to lose games along the way.

I am not by any means suggesting LSU will make the playoffs. I was just pointing out for the dreamers out there, there is a possible path to get in the conversation and one key to that path is Georgia being unseated in the unlikely event LSU makes the SEC championship game.

Miss St has now entered the ranking at #21 after blowing out A&M which somewhat lessens the damage of the Miss St loss although the fact that it was a blowout hurts.

Nothing really helps the effect of the Troy loss. They are 6-2, but they're still Troy.

There are a lot more upsets coming this weekend and one loss teams playing each other. If LSU somehow knocks off Bama things could start to get really interesting in the CFB world. After the gut punch from those two dismal losses we could find ourselves on a wild ride the rest of the season.

I'm not holding my breath, but it would sure turn what had been a miserable season into a memorable one.
