re: LSU is #7 in the CFP poll and that’s a big deal

For LSU to get in:

Bama beats Georgia. LSU owns head to head. LSU rank goes to 6th.

WV loses this weekend and then beats Oklahoma. Neither team has a defense. LSU goes to 5th.

Note Dame loses. It'd be a late season loss to an un-ranked team. LSU was ahead of Notre Dame prior to the Bama game and Notre Dame would fare no better than LSU if they played Bama. The committee knows this. LSU goes to 4th.

Ohio State loses to MSU then beats Michigan. Both finish with 2 losses. This one is iffy. One would likely end up with a conference championship but Ohio States losses are worse than LSU's and LSU has the hardest SOS in the nation, current ranked 1st. LSU may or may not make it to 3rd.
