Don't fret...An 11-2 SEC Champion LSU will definitely go to playoff over Tennessee...

Don't listen to these snapperheads on ESPN who are paid to drum up controversy.

LSU would have beaten the team that just stomped Tennessee...LSU would have played one more game than Tennessee and would have a harder schedule.

That being said, just beat Arkansas...

TCU would be the one to worry about.. the pac is a joke

And Im so tired of hearing “no 2 loss team has ever made it” bro the CFP hasn’t even existed for 10 years yet. There will be firsts

We’re at 7 - need to jump 3 teams

We’ll jump Tennessee by winning out
We will jump the loser of Mich/OSU
Need TCU to lose and/or PAC 12 champ to have 2 losses.

I don't think we would at all jump Tennessee. We would have lost to them and have 1 more loss. I'm as big an LSU fan as there is, but preparing yourself for reality is always the best route. We need TCU to lose. We don't need Oregon to lose, but it'd be nice. If we beat UGA, they will have lost to them 49-3, and I think playoff committee will look at that mutual opponent. Michigan will lose, but our SOS is better than them with 2 losses. No way in hell they would have beat UGA and Bama.

Key thing here is TCU losing and LSU winning out.

let me flip it around for you...in your scenario, would Tennessee go over UGA if LSU beats UGA in SECCG? UGA would have stomped them and have one more win than them?

I think conference champion will be our trump card...and yes, I agree, we need TCU to lose...will probably happen this weekend...

Losses aren’t the only thing that matters. Quality wins and championships do too.

Quality wins carry more weight than bad losses. The Committee has proven this the last 8 years.

So sayeth the shepherd so sayeth the flock

For heaven's sake beat Arky.

I don’t think Tenn is the issue for LSU. Tenn is sitting at 5 with an easy schedule and no conference championship. All they have to do is keep winning and let the one’s ahead of them beat each other since most of them still have to play one another.

The rankings don’t necessarily always work that way. They aren’t a given to be in the final four just because someone ahead of them loses and falls behind them between now and the end of the season. If Oregon runs the table, for example, they likely end up ahead of Tennessee.
