What really matters is the style points. We’ll likely fall in the CFP polls now bc of an unimpressive 1 score win against a 2-7 team, when it could have been 31-17 not really seems close type game

Then we should have continued to score throughout the game and not sit on a lead going 3 and out every fricking time.

We'll likely fall, but not because Brossette took a dive.

Anyone paying attention on the committee knows the win was unimpressive, with or without the TD.

Should have been 34-17 if we kick the FG and don't go for it on 4th down.

but thankfully, the committee doesn't just look at the final score, like the silly pollsters do.

The committee has all kinds of metrics to analyze games, and there's a "game control" metric (I don't know the details) that the committee uses to see how a team played, regardless of the final score.

So the committee digs deeper than just the final score.

I thought it was a very heady decision. I’ve seen LSU teams with a 2 TD lead turn right back around and give up a TD on a kickoff returned for a TD and then have to sweat out an onside kick!
Get the 100% sure win and GTFO there. A garbage time TD means nothing and was a classy move to boot (no pun). A road SEC win, however cosmetically unappealing, is never a bad thing. Too much crazy shite happening in college football to give the ball back to an opponent who with 2 plays can still alter the outcome.
