Bama, Auburn and UGA will all be ranked ahead of LSU.




True. However, if we beat A&M and Auburn loses, we'll be 2nd in the West because of the head to head with Auburn.

Do you think it matters if we finish second? Auburn will still be ahead of LSU because of the playoff rankings and thats what decides what bowl you go to.

That doesn’t matter, it’s the playoff rankings

Bowls and TV don't care about that. They want the higher-ranked team. History is filled with higher-ranked teams who lost to another conference rival with the same record and still got the better bowl because of the rankings.
