re: Bud Elliott: LSU 100% in if they beat Texas and Tennessee

Texas would be probably the best team in the country if they had above-average QB play. They're ultra talented. Their defense is going to give LSU fits as is Tenn. And nowhere this season has LSU been able to sidestep mistakes turning the ball over. It's a constant.
Bama's gameplan was play conservative and let LSU beat themselves. This plays right into Texas/Tenn's hands with how well their defenses match against us. That's if the player's haven't already given up which tends to happen when you know you're not going to playoffs.

1) I don't see us beating both
2) This will depend on where we end up in the rankings and what other teams end up doing.
The only scenario I see us getting in at 9-3 is if UK loses to Mizzou and one of UF/Louisville to finish 8-4. Ole Miss needs to lose to OU this weekend to finish 8-4.
We need to obviously win out and have Texas and Tenn both go 9-3. Alabama and UGA both go 10-2 or 11-1 and 10-2.
That would leave us with
UGA 11-1
Alabama 10-2
LSU 9-3
Tenn 9-3
Texas 9-3
Ole Miss 8-4
UK 8-4
USC 8-4
With as crappy as the Big 10 is there is no way they only take 2 SEC teams, so we'd be being compared to 2 9-3 teams we have head to heads over.
If Ole Miss and UK both go 9-3 then I don't think we stand out Resume
Wise in a 5 team cluster of 9-3 teams

Ole Miss having two blowouts especially to a bad Florida team will hurt them.
Kentucky was blown out yesterday, if they lose again and we win out then we are the top 9-3 team in

The most louisiana football thing would be to beat Texas and Tennessee then lose to Arkansas

I’m so fricking tired of this shite. What were the spreads in the games against Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Alabama? The past two weeks were full of people on this board just saying “we have the 3rd best odds to win the national championship!” as if that means anything.

This is such a defeatist attitude.
LSU would have potentially 2 top 10 wins at the end of the season. Wouldn't that be more impressive given those teams had to survive the season to be that highly rated?

Also we’re not going to be winning against Texas or Tennessee anyway so it doesn’t matter.[/
This is why you say this. It's unlikely, but if it does happen then that's incredibly impressive. Need to see how everything plays out.

100% disagree. 9-3 LSU will not be put in over 9-3 Ole Miss or 9-3 Texas - and they shouldn't. Texas will have a much better resume.

Who deserved it over Miami for the final spot?

Nah, Texas would be. Head to head won't matter because there are two other teams we lost two with the same record. They'll take the best Resume
Texas will have wins over Ohio State, Ole Miss, Mizzou, Tenn
Our wins would be Texas and Tennessee.
We need to be in a 3 team comparison with 2 teams we beat in the last 3 weeks for the 3rd spot out of the SEC
Posted on 11/8/26 at 11:45 am to HoneyDuece
What if they lose to Arkansas?
Posted on 11/8/26 at 11:46 am to HoneyDuece
I'm inclined to agree, but they're not beating Texas and Tennessee.

We’d need serious 2007 stuff to happen, that said, no one here actually believes we deserve to be anywhere near the playoffs. This team is average and struggles to hell against anyone with a pulse.

Texas also lossed to two bad teams. Their OSU win isn’t looking that great.

Don’t give me hope

If the playoffs are the true top 12 best teams in the country then LSU easily makes it. LSU would go undefeated in any conference outside the SEC.

Truth. It’s almost inconceivable that we beat Tenn.
9-3 LSU does not get in anyway. 9-3 Bama would.

1) we have to win out. Tough but doable.
2) Kentucky losing two more and ole miss 1 more could almost be a guranteee we would be in.
It would be uga bama and prob 2 three loss sec teams. With us have the win over both Tennessee and Texas (with 3 losses too , at least) and them having “later” season losses we should and would prob be in over them. Ole Miss and Kentucky would be done with 4 losses too
Crazy season is crazy. Theres a chance but I'm not counting on it.
