LSU must win. Lose to BAMA and our chances drop to 15%. We beat BAMA and they have the same chance. Our defense has been lights out at home. Only taking the week off when we were lighting it up. I hope CLK has kept them sharp. I hope WW is back also. Confident we can beat Texas. The TN looks like a hard win. Going to be fun to see what happens. Beat BAMA!

GEAUX TIGERS!

Almost, but not quite. If LSU loses a close one to Bama, then runs the table impressively, they might make it in.

They’ll be a 3-loss SEC in the playoffs

LSU could absolutely lose to Bama and still sneak in

If there is a 9-3, it will be one team and tbh it won’t be LSU. It would likely be ole piss if they lose one more

At least 1 9-3 team is getting in, maybe more with the way these games have gone since that crazy weekend when LSU played State.

LSU losing to Bama doesn’t eliminate them from the playoffs, it just puts a damper on our current expectations and the incredible improvement this team has made the past month or so.

With that said, LSU wins by 2+ TDs. And yes, I’ll be betting alternative spread LSU -16.5. RTWFU

Every game going forward is a CFP elimination for many teams.

I’m still on board of no 9-3 team getting in. Although it helps if other top teams keep losing.

Care to bet? I’d wager multiple 3 loss teams make it.

We used to have a two team playoff and a two loss team got in. Now you’re saying a three loss team couldn’t get in a 12 team playoff? Watch.

Idk. Beating Bama would give us a quality win. Idk if TX and TN would mean the same.

Yall are insane if you think there will be more than 8 or 9 two loss or less teams at the end of the season

Most data disagrees with you.

Texas is ranked well ahead of Bama.

I still think that Kentucky loss will come back to haunt lsu.

Could've been sitting with 1 loss going into the Bama game. Would've been sitting pretty.

we’ve reached the point where it’s almost likely the 3rd place team from the SEC will have 3 losses.

I don’t know if lsu gets in at 9-3 but guarantee someone at 9-3 is getting in. Theres no way they take less than 3 teams from the SEC

Miami
Ohio St
Indiana
Utah
BYU
UCLA
Notre Dame
UGA
Texas Tech
Boise* (G6)
Maybe another SEC team (Ole Miss, UK, LSU)

It will be close for a 9-3, but I do agree that it would be an SEC team above any other conference
