Do y'all realize how pinched the CFP committee could have been if LSU beat Florida?

The final SEC standings before the conference championship would be

1. Texas (7 - 1) 2. Tennessee (6 - 2). 3. LSU (6 - 2) 4. Georgia (6 - 2) 5. Alabama (5 - 3) 6. S Carolina (5 - 3).

I hate being the hypothetical guy, but I do not think Tennessee beats Texas in SECCC. Either way, the committee has laid a solid precedent for rewarding those who qualify for a conference championship. So Texas and Tennessee IN (as they currently are). But the log jam of LSU Georgia and Bama is intriguing, considering the committee all but put SMU in before the conference champ. This leaves one spot in CFP, and it most likely would have been UGA over BAMA, LSU, and Miami.

The committee has harped on 3 things: eye test, head-to-head, and strength of schedule. This would have really worked the hierarchy of their own rules.

UGA passes the eye test, BAMA has head-to-head, and LSU has the best wins in the strength of common opponents.

Yes, the bar was significantly lowered this year, and play around the country reflected that.

It's just amusing to me how the sky is falling for some of you, and others remain optimistic. Look, LSU isn't at the table right now, but that doesn't mean we weren't capable this season. We have the roster and coaches to be favored in games at UF and USCw. The sky may be falling if we aren't favored in those types of games in the future.
