Do we win out and miss playoff? That scenario is real.

All LSU can do is control what LSU does on the field. If the playoffs are not aligned with LSU this season then it is what it is. Believe me, LSU is going to be a playoff player in seasons going forward with even better scenarios in place.

Hell no, you are wrong wrong wrong.

SEC champs will be in no matter what...

That's a figment of your imagination. Not real.

It's more likely that LSU and Georgia both get in if we beat them in Atlanta. The only chance Tenn has is if we lose in Atlanta. They won't jump us even with the head to head since they won't even win their division and we would be SEC Champs.

Absolutely the scenario is real. We are not jumping an 11-1 Tennessee.

We at minimum need TCU to lose.

I don’t like to think about these things, because it’s still far away. Not even worth it at this point. Still a challenge to win any two SEC roads games. I don’t care who it is against. Both games will be their Super Bowls.

I can’t see a 2 loss SEC champ that beat an undefeated defending national champ being left out of the playoffs. Not when so many other teams have 1 loss.

The late stretch of destroying the #7 undefeated Ole Miss, then Bama who was off a BYE (Saban hasn’t lost 2 games this early since like 2010), and then beating everybody’s #1 team is too much to deny. Factor in first loss was due to a blocked xp against a team that had a warm up game. Losses are never ideal, but first game would be the best.

People say they haven’t let a 2 loss team in before, but how many beat the universal #1 for the SEC championship.

Again, I just hate to talk about this so early, because it could end up looking silly. That resume would be too strong to ignore though.

If we win out we will be in the playoff. End of story.

This is simply not true, there's scenarios that play out where we can be left out with 2 losses. I know we all want to ignore the fact we have 2 losses, but it's still 2 losses and thats the biggest black eye against us even if we win the SECCG we may have the "best" wins of anyone but also the most losses. It will all be left in the hands of the committee and we wont be a shoe in.

I agree with the original post. LSU wins out but has two losses.
Other contenders:
Unbeaten Ohio State or Michigan (with the other being a one-loss team)
One-Loss Georgia (almost guaranteed regardless)
One-Loss Tennessee (higher CFP ranking throughout)
Unbeaten TCU (gotta get past Texas and Baylor but capable)
Oregon (one big loss on opening day but rolling)
--
Ole Miss just has a single loss but technically still in the mix.
Clemson, one bad loss to Notre Dame.
USC and UCLA, One-loss teams as of today.

Committee will be charged to pick the 4 best teams, not the 4 highest ranked teams. Sure LSU gets one of those spots with 2 losses? If LSU knocks off Georgia I guarantee it won't be a blowout.

No way the committee takes a team that doesn't participate in the SEC champ game over the team that wins it. You can get in WITH the SEC champ if you are a 1 loss non participant in ATL but you're not getting in over them. I don't care how badly they beat you.
