Are they stupid? Where is my recruiting mathematician? Whos conference has the overall best players in the nation? Its not Ohio States conference.
We played 3 top 10 teams in the nation and won, they played 1? Look at where they put alabama in this link (24 seconds in), 5? This is rigged. If you are tired of hearing this, move on. Im probably overly nervous about the next 2 games but dont see how we arent number 1 because our defense is average, but our offense can keep any defense on the field for an extended period if we want. Pure horeshit, respect to the buckeyes but you aint ready.

Just win, baby.

If LSU were to get left out of the CFB playoffs with a loss to Georgia then we might as well go back to BCS. That would prove that it is still all about WHEN you lose rather than anything else. I don’t care what seed we are TBH. I just want in. The committee seems to be stirring up a screw job for someone and I don’t like it. They value OSUs win at home over Penn St. more than ours in Bama? BAMA wouldve been favored over every team in the country at home that day.

They want marquee names in the playoff. Putting Ohio State #1 likely assures them a spot in the final. For the same reason Bama will be in if at all possible. They want ratings and both those teams have a lot of t shirt fans. Nightmare scenario from their point of view would be a final of LSU vs somebody like Utah. Anybody who thinks this is about picking the best teams is incredibly naive.

Our defense looks weak. It’s just that simple. There’s no conspiracy. We’ve been making excuses for it all season.
We play in the toughest conference in the country. For us to win it all we have to do more than anyone. We all knew this.

Team A
11-0
1 top 5 win.
1 top 10 win.
3 top 15 wins.
Team B
11-0
0 top 5 wins.
1 top 10 win.
2 top 15 wins
If they want to put out ranking then they should use those same damn rankings to pull weight.
The only reason they fricking ranked penn state at 10 was to continue to give themselves the ability to say ohio state beat a team still ranked in the top 10.
Win out then beat Georgia then we are in good hands but still the bias needs to be called out or it will only get worse.

Well put Jimmy. Just doesnt make sense. And all of the analyst have an agenda but their check outweighs it. And i think we beat Texas A n M but what if we dont. Then you have to beat GA, but in the conference title you dont. Its weird.

Does this mean if we lose to Georgia we’re no longer a shoe in?

It's common opinion that if we are 1 and lose to Georgia by a tiny margin then yea we could get in.
Now the odds are dropping and the talking heads could see us out completely.

So basically they put LSU 2 on purpose to make sure 2 sec teams don’t get in

Team A
vs
#5 - 5 point win
#11 - 14 point win
#15 - 3 point win
Team B
vs
#10 - 11 point win
#12 - 31 point win
#19 - 42 point win
It's really not that complicated to understand the rankings. Ohio State's best win is better than our best win (31 points over #12 is better than 5 points over #5). Their second best win is better than our second best win (42 points over #19 is better than 14 points over #11). Their third best win is better than our third best win (11 over #10 vs 3 over #15).
LSU has played a tougher schedule at the top end, but it's not like Ohio State has played only cupcakes. They beat the #12 team by 31 points and #19 by 42 points. For comparison, the only two teams LSU has beaten by over 42 points are Georgia Southern and Northwestern State, and the only two other teams LSU has beaten by at least 31 are Utah State and Arkansas.

With Brennan seeing playing time in what 6-8 games? it shows we have taken the foot off the gas. Shouldn’t be penalized for protecting our starters in garbage time.

I am so confused by your response. The problem isn't that we have taken out starters. Ohio State has taken out their starters in plenty of games this year too. Do you think LSU is the only team that does that? Ohio State blew out two top-20 teams though. Burrow played all game against Auburn and Florida and we weren't close to blowing them out.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read on this board. I'm actually dumber now for taking time to read this. Thanks.

Are you saying that you think a 5 point win over #5 is better than beating #12 by 31 points? It isn't. Are you saying a 14 point win over #11 is better than a 42 point win over #19? It isn't. Are you saying a 3 point win over #15 is better than an 11 point win over #10? It isn't. So which part of it is dumb in your opinion?

I don’t think you understand how great the competition level difference is in the SEC and the Big 10...it’s staggering. Auburn, Bama, and UF are legit top 5-10 talent teams in America.
Penn State, Wisconsin, Cincinnati are not even close.

Fields stayed in the whole game for Wisconsin. He played for 50 minutes against Cincinnati, who really doesn't deserve the #19 spot - so your point doesn't hold water here.
You're trying to imply that OSU pulled their starters for their big games, and they didn't.

That is a totally reasonable position to hold, but at that point your argument is that those three teams are drastically overrated. That may be true, but the committee isn't going to assume that they are overrating those teams. So it doesn't really change the explanation of the committee's reasoning, but it does change whether that reasoning is based on good assumptions.

No, I'm not. If you inferred that it is your own fault. Someone said that LSU didn't have the blowouts like Ohio State because Joe Burrow was frequently being pulled from games. I pointed out that Joe Burrow was not pulled from games against Auburn and Florida and LSU still did not blow them out. At no time did I imply that Fields did not play all game against Wisconsin or most of the game against Cincinnati.
