Anyone else surprised to see LSU in the 4 team playoff picture on so many shows?

LSU is the bandwagon team of the week. We will get a lot of love on Game day for a while

LSU will get one chance at Alabama and until LSU takes down Alabama we do not make the playoffs.

I love the wins but this complete flip from not wanted LSU ranked to a playoff spot is crazy talk.

Me too, because the moment our guys get too puffed up, we might start to lose. But for right now, let's roll!!!!!!

Remember that "toughest schedule in the country" detriment? Well, that has surfaced in a beneficial way as we have beat some quality opponents. We appear good...at the moment.
I think LSU has not shown playoff caliber football yet. The potential is there now but I liked our positioning better as the underdog.
Our schedule is beneficial if we handle it.
GEAUX Tigers!

As quickly as the media is to build them up, once they lose, the media will say how bad they are

So, if LSU’s only loss was to Bama, how could they leave LSU out? Bama got in in last year after losing to Auburn. I’m not saying this is what I think will happen, but if we only lose one game with this schedule, we should be in the playoffs.

That's with any team.

If you can't pump up their ratings you're useless.

It’s a distraction at this point. A lot of football left to be played.

this 24 hour news cycle creates really stupid stuff. used to be editors had selections to make on what's newsworthy or not. now, EVERYTHING will end up somewhere, even social media and blogs, and some idiots call it "news".

it's difficult to "cull" the massive quantities of bull shite, fluff and downright fabrications. it takes an intelligent person that researches the big stuff to separate real news from bull shite.

this, however, is easy to ID as fluff. "my editor made me come up with something" bull shite. we are WAY too early to narrow the playoff picture to anything smaller than it was in july.

Every time I see that stuff, I tell myself to remember 2015.

While I’m super high on this team, it could still crash and burn from a playoff stand point.

Because they are Bama and we're not. Once we get several consecutive championships under our belt maybe we can demand equal treatment. Until then, Bama gets two shots at the championship and everybody else in the SEC West only gets one.
