re: Texas is the most important game on the schedule. Convince me otherwise.

To be completely fair, I do think that in the following scenario:
- LSU 11-1, loss to Bama on the road
- Bama 13-0 SEC champ,
There’s a very good argument to be made for LSU to make the CFP (depending on the landscape obviously).

However, in the following scenario:
- LSU 11-2
- Losses to Texas and Miss. State
- Win at Bama
- SEC champs,
I think there’s an even greater likelihood that LSU makes the CFP.

If LSU beats Bama, they can lose another SEC game and would still win the division, unless another team sets up a 3-way tie. Win or lose at Texas, doesn’t change the SEC west standings. And as I said the SEC champ has gotten in 13 years in a row.

So I don’t know how anyone can argue that Texas is a more important game.
