Can LSU get in the CFP with an 11-1 record?

If LSU can find a way to take care of everyone but the tide do you think the committee would put LSU in the top 4 at the end of the year?
11

if that one loss were to an undefeated bama, yes. Same with a 1 loss UGA (although it would mean we made the SECC)

highly unlikely this year especially with the likelihood of ND going undefeated.
Clemson has no one left on their schedule.
Ohio State looks to win the Big 10 with no losses.
Oklahoma has no stumbling blocks either.
so you've got 4 teams plus the SEC champion and only 4 spots.
i'm not even counting the pac 12 champ who will have one loss.
some years it's possible, but not this one unless some crazy stuff happens.

Should they? Yes. Would they? I’m not so sure. I don’t know if anyone else would ever get the constant mulligan “eye-test” treatment that Nick Saban gets.
Funny thing if that were to happen would be to see how fast little Nicky started screaming that if you don’t win your own division you don’t deserve to go to the national championship.

Hopefully not TO LSU but FOR LSU!

So far, Alabama is the only team that has shown it can not go undefeated and NOT win their conference and still get in.

Lose to FL or GA, win the rest including Bama, go to SEC championship and win the SEC, and we’re good. Lose to Bama and all bets are off.

We should, but it would be iffy since the Irish will get a strong look despite their shitty schedule.

Notre Dame has a good chance of losing this weekend

It is looking like it could be 2 sec teams in the top 4 this year. weather it is lsu bama or bama Georgia is the question. some other teams like Ohio state, Clemson and notre dame need to lose however.

Well said.

Here’s a new topic
The answer is it depends on what other teams do, when you don’t win your conference you need help. Last year if Wisconsin beats Ohio St then they go to the CFP and not Alabama.
In this scenario the SEC champ is in say Notre Dame goes 12-0, then they are in, if just 2 of the other 4 conference champs finish with 0-1 loss then no LSU wouldn’t be in.

It honestly depends on how that 1 loss looks. 3 or 7 pt loss then I would say so.

Ohio State much????

2016 Ohio State didn’t win the B1G but made the playoffs, like last year there were only 3 P5 conference champs with 0-1 loss

Yes. /Thread

Not without winning the SEC. It's more than likely the only way in this year.

That's untrue. This week vs Texas will be tough, plus the Sooners have to go to West Virginia late in the season. Will Grier is for real at QB and WVU's defense is decent this year.

Why not? Bama did it last year. Lost to Auburn, Auburn lost to UGA in SECCG and Bama is in.
So if Bama beats LSU, then UGA would need to beat Bama in SECCG in order for LSU to have a shot. I don't think UGA could beat Bama though unless the running game became really dominant.
There are a couple scenarios I can see a 1 loss LSU get into the playoff.
