Has there been a 2 loss team in the Playoff before?

Yes, this is getting ahead of this weekend, but the thought just came to mind--has there been a 2-loss team in the playoff before?
I can't think of any (too lazy to find something that shows all of the records, either). IF the Tigers can run the table, that would obviously make them the first.
How crazy would that shite be if LSU is the first 2-loss CFP Champion after they were the first 2-loss BCS Champion?
Go ahead, bash me for this. I blame these thoughts on the committee filling me with false hope with the #10 ranking and highest ranked 2-loss team at this point.

To this point there have not. Been a few in consideration but need some help with conference champions having losses in a perceived weaker conference.

No, but I can think of a 2 loss team that made it to the championship game.

We don’t play for this team, so as fans we do have the luxury or optimistically looking ahead

17 Auburn would have been if they beat UGA a second time

LSU made it once as a two loss team when they were only picking two (and won it all). Why on earth couldn't a two loss team make it when they double the number of teams to 4?

Yea LSU did it in the 2003 year and won it

Even with a loss to Alabama this Saturday I think lsu still has a chance to sneak into playoffs if they win out after Alabama game.

2 loss LSU team in 2007 won the bcs championship but no 2 loss team has made it since 4 team playoff started.
Posted on 11/1/22 at 7:58 pm to Cowboyfan89
No there hasn't and there will not be a 2 loss team in the playoffs this year either. We are not winning out. Seriously, it's a nice thought and hypothetically yes we would be in, but its not happening this year.

There are a lot of teams that are undefeated or with one loss. Tenn and UGA have to play, OSU and Mich have to play, TCU probably has to lose, Oregon and USC each have one loss and have to play. I just don’t see a scenario in which a 2 loss LSU gets in, even if they win out and beat an undefeated UGA or Tenn.

Undefeated team from ACC, undefeated team from the big 10, undefeated team from the big 12
A 1 loss Tennessee team and 1 loss UGA are getting in over LSU maybe even a 1 loss Oregon team if they win out. The FSU loss is a huge black eye on the tigers resume and will only continue to look worse if they keep losing.

No. 2 LSU played what was hyped as one of the most exciting games ever played in Tiger Stadium against No. 9 Florida in 2007. The game is also known for the LSU students leaving thousands of messages on the phone of Florida quarterback, Tim Tebow, prompting him to give a "telephone" hand gesture to the LSU student section following an early touchdown. Florida began the fourth quarter with a 24–14 lead, but behind solid defense and being a perfect 5 for 5 on fourth down conversions, the Tigers were able to take the lead 28–24 with 1:06 left in the game after a Jacob Hester touchdown to defeat the Gators. It was LSU's first national primetime game on CBS since 1981 and the game has been dubbed, "Primetime Drama." LSU went on to defeat No. 1 Ohio State in the BCS national championship 38–24, becoming the first school to win two BCS national championship titles and improving their BCS record to 4–0, the best of any team. They also became the first two loss team to ever play in the BCS national championship.
