2 losses won't do it either, podnuh. You gotta go 11 & 1 to get the playoff berth - GENERALLY. Looking at the schedule, we do have a shot at 11 & 1. I just hope the head coach doesn't try to sit on any leads in the 4th qtr. Keep the foot on the gas, Orgeron, Dabo does.

All of this! I’m excited that O realizes the team has to use the quick passes, not just the heavy run and long developing play action. It’s way past time LSU plays aggressive and keeps the foot down. We have the personnel to do it. 11-1 is achievable and even 12-0 with a little luck.

I think this is correct. And...I think not every 11-1 gets us there either. If the loss is to Texas in Game 2, then I think we're in. But it would require not going 11-1, but 12-1...running the table after Texas beating BAMA, wining the SECW and winning the SEC. That run no question gets LSU into the Top 4.

Do we get in if we go 11-1 with the only loss to BAMA? Man...I don't know. So many factors, including how the game is lost, etc...but does anyone want to sit around and wait until after the SECCG to see if we get the nod as SECW runners-up?

I just don't think LSU is in the BAMA position of being able to lose an all important game in conference, get a rest on Conference Championship Weekend, and STILL get tabbed for a Top 4 spot.
