Our season and playoff hopes will be determined solo by our head to head matchup with Bama. If we beat Bama, we in playoffs for sure. If we lose to Bama and end up with one loss, we won’t be in playoffs
why in the world would you get unanimous downvotes.

This post is absolutely true. If we lose to Bama, our chances at the playoffs is very, very remote.

Clemson, SEC champ Bama or UGA, Oklahoma, and the Big Ten champ are getting in.

Basically, our entire season comes down to Bama. But we all already knew that.

We're talking about sports writers here. They typically decide in the preseason which teams are the playoff contenders and those teams stay put until they lose. Clemson hasn't lost and has the recent post season history, so I didnt think the writers would bump them again.

Also, a 1 loss Notre Dame will get in over a 1 loss LSU !!

My thoughts exactly. Alabama has not played much less beaten a ranked team yet they are ahead of us? This goes to show that the poll is simply a beauty contest. Pollsters don't care about strength of schedule or quality of the wins.

A one loss Notre Dame is 2 spots ahead of a one loss Georgia...even though Notre Dame's one loss was to GEORGIA.

Notre Dame lost on the road to Georgia

Georgia lost at home to South Carolina

I think the ranking has to do with the quality of loss.

Notre Dame lost a close well-played game on the Road to the then number 3 team in the country. Georgia lost to a 2-3 team at Home and played horribly. The ranking makes sense if you watched both games. By the way, this ranking is exactly consistent with the Coaches poll which also has ND rated 2 spots ahead of UGA !!

Kind of worried about that.

A repeat of the entire scenario isn’t impossible.

Chase and Jefferson both have 8TD's on the year. Only 4 away from the LSU single season record. It's a race to see who breaks it first.

Awesome, we deserve to be no.1 but I'll take it. Take care of business against bama and we'll be consensus.
