re: 12-1 LSU vs 12-1 Oregon compared to 11-1 Alabama vs 12-1 Oregon

12-1 LSU is locked in 0% chance they get left out. The playoff committee is all about narratives. The narrative on Oklahoma is they can't compete with an elite team because they have a suspect defense. This was quite obvious against Kansas State, Iowa State, and now Baylor. LSU has proven they are an elite team and has the best win of the year (@Bama) some other quality wins, and their only loss would be to a top 4 Georgia team. Oregon lost to an Auburn team that LSU beat. LSU has 3 quality wins to Oregon's 1, and their loss is much better. The narrative on Oregon is that they are the best team in a weak conference that hasn't been tested and lost the one game they needed to win to shake their reputation as not being elite.

There is no logical argument that would support Oklahoma or Oregon over LSU
