Lets assume LSU is ranked at #7 tonight which many in the media are predicting. Michigan, Georgia and Oklahoma would be the 3 teams in front of LSU for the # 4 spot.

It's not a far stretch to think that each of those 3 can have 2 losses before the final CFP rankings are in. Would LSU be the best 2 loss team to make it into the #4 CFP spot and play Bama again? 2007 all over again???

Boy, playing Saban again this season would be so much fun. Can’t wait.

Washington State would win the Pac-12 and jump us.

Hell, I'm pretty sure they'd put a two loss Georgia in over us, just due to the fact that they made the SEC championship game.

Ohio state would be in just by beating Michigan and only having one loss.

A meteor would have to hit almost all of these teams stadiums during a game, for us to get into the CFP.

If Michigan gets beat it will be by OSU. They will jump us.

I'm wondering how many more of these threads we're going to get. I applaud the enthusiasm, but getting to the playoff was the last thing I've been thinking about since Saturday.

Just stop.

We will not and absolutely should not get into the playoff.

At all

Sooner or later UCF will have to be acknowledged.

LSU proved Saturday night that they don’t remotely belong in the conversation in the top 4 CFP. The mere discussion of this is laughable. Just taking their body of work over the season from an offensive standpoint, LSU is a marginal 20th - 25th ranked team.

If you think LSU deserves a spot in the playoffs then you should want them to go back to the BCS system.


This team is not a playoff caliber team. Just stop

Possibly.

Who does Michigan lose to, Ohio State? If Ohio State still only has one loss and wins out, they're likely #4.

Who does Oklahoma lose to, West Virginia? If West Virginia still only has one loss and wins out, they have a shot (I don't think they're better than LSU, just saying).

Georgia definitely loses 2, and we beat them, so we should be in over them.

Pac-12 sucks, but Washington State probably will win it with one loss to USC.

Everyone keeps forgetting West Virginia. They would easily jump us with a win over Oklahoma.

For the love of all that is holy. Anyone starting a thread about LSU getting a route back into the top four needs to be banned.

So we make it to #4. Who do we play first round? Bama. Yeah, we got blanked and embarrassed on our own field when Saban had two weeks to prepare. Logically we'll do better at a neutral/slightly pro-Bama field with Saban having a month to prepare.

This is NOT a CFP caliber offense. Which is a shame, because the defense certainly is. But I definitely don't want to give Bama another opportunity to embarrass us in front of a national audience again this year.

I’m going to get hate for this but I don’t want us in the playoff. Nobody wants to see us play Alabama again this year. Nothing would be different.

It is actually a more likely scenario than the events that put LSU in the NC game in 2007, however, I never expected LSU to play for the NC this year.

We just lost 29-0 at home. We don’t deserve to be in the playoffs

There is no path whatsoever for a two loss non champion LSU. Every other p5 champion would need to be 3 loss and then what about the loser of the SECCG?
