If we were #1, we would have to be more impressive than Ohio State to remain there, just like two weeks ago. But now, as long as we win, and beat the #4 team in the country, giving us 5 wins vs AP Top 10 teams...they will have no choice but to put us in the top spot

Not when they drop Georgia to 11 or 12. And then they’ll drop Bama to 20 just because.

Unless OSU loses, we will remain 2.

You really think the committee would put us back in the top spot after all the shenanigans they just pulled with the rankings? I hate to break it to you, but it ain’t happening.

This means nothing to the commitee hence why they shifted Ohio Sts wins to make them look legit but dropped LSUs wins.

Not necessarily. If Ohio blows the doors off Wisky (likely) & LSU barely beats UGA, Committee will go back to the “ complete team” argument & leave LSU #2.

Don’t see where AP rankings are relevant—Committee can arrange a T25 list to suit their own agenda.

They can do whatever they want. They can move a team up four spots while also dropping the team they beat 10 spots. There's no rhyme or reason for what we saw tonight. Nothing but illogical contradictions all over the place.

Ok, but if we are #1, and for some reason lose to UGA, it’s MUCH harder for the CFP to move us out of the top 4!

Now, if we lose, we will be #5, and UGA #4, be this CFP DOES NOT WANT 2 SEC TEAMS!

Just stop! Enjoy our ride! Enjoy the collapse is Bama! Bama played a weak schedule and lost to both teams that worth a shite...hence the severe drop. It was well-deserved.

Who cares? Just make the top 4, win twice and collect the trophy.

It is hard to get biased votes with national polls like AP and coaches but when you put it in the hands of a small group of people you can't possibly get unbiased rankings. It is just like making decisions based on a sample of 13 vs 102.

So you saying 4 top 10 wins isn’t enough to be #1 but osu has 1 and they are a better team.

Yep... that's exactly what is being said.

You're looking at 4 games in a 13 game season and focusing on marginal differences in the rankings while completely overlooking at how those teams have actually looked on the field.

Wrong. The slate is wiped clean every week. OSU played a tougher team than LSU so it was a no brainer to keep them ahead.
