Even if LSU was to somehow beat both top five teams Bama and Ga, it would likely have to beat both twice to win the title. Don’t say crazy can’t happen, we’re already there.

You’re saying that Bama will get into the playoffs without even winning its own division...again.

I’d rather lose to Bama and beat UGA, let Bama play UGA in the championship and sit pretty with 1 loss daring the selection committee not to send us to the playoffs with the insane schedule we played this year. We have already seen that winning your division doesn’t mean shite as far as making the playoffs, so why put yourself through playing these teams twice. And this is best case scenario, not something that I think can or should happen. It’s what I think would be the best and easiest route to the playoffs. We can potentially play UGA three times for fricks sake. Screw that.

Look. I'm a huge LSU fan and I don't want to rain on anyone's parade.

But, in college football this year, there almost isn't a top 5.

There's Alabama and then the next team listed should be like #9.

With Tua at QB, Bama is going to set fricking records for average margin of victory.

I don't like that reality. But, that's what's gonna happen.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves first beat Bama and UGA, and see where the ball bounces! But you are 100% right if we do beat both Bama & UGA we know we will get UGA for sure and Bama has so much street cred with everyone who counts that if they only lose to us "and that is a huge IF they look unstoppable" you know damn well they will be one of four playoff teams. Only way they aren't is if 3 other power five champs go undefeated which they won't.

Text exchange with my Bama buddy yesterday:

Me: Gus Bus is now 0-2 against arguably the worst coach in FBS.

Him: Yeah, but he's cost Saban a couple of conference titles. Still love to see him lose like that, tho.

Me: You are the only school in FBS where conference titles don't matter.

Him: Probably true. Loved when Spurrier always talked about the goal of winning conference titles.

3 teams from 1 conference aren't going to the playoffs.
