re: LSU will be #2 in the final rankings

quote:

LSU will be #2 in the final cfb playoff rankings behind Ohio State. This will allow the committee to avoid an LSU Alabama rematch in the 1 vs 4 game.

Bama isn't getting in. The Committee has OU and Utah set to jump them. Probably Baylor too, if BU wins out.

Are there scenarios where Bama gets in?
Sure.

There are also scenarios where LSU, UGa, and Bama get in.
But they are unlikely.

So saying the Committee demoted LSU based on the premise that Alabama would be the number 4 seed is silly.
