I’m willing to bet that a Northwestern win over Ohio State bumps the Bucks below LSU. Committee has not been in favor of OSU this year. If they drop that far, LSU still in mix for a NY6 bowl


That's a good point and is possible. The committee has loved LSU, so I wouldn't say OSU losing and dropping below LSU is impossible. If that happens it changes all my scenarios that have OSU in the Fiesta/Peach to a OSU/LSU scenario. One gets in and the other does not.

Regardless we would be in a tough spot if we are having to depend on that.

It seems likely UCF will get their over hyped arse kicked. This does nothing to help or hurt LSU. Simply insert the Boise/Fresno winner into the UCF slots in the OP.

It does, however, make predicting LSU's destination between Fiesta and Peach a little easier. Boise/Fresno would almost certainly go to Fiesta. We weren't sure if UCF would go back to Peach or be sent to Arizona.

True, but I think it was unlikely they'd send UCF to Atlanta for the second year in a row.

I think Georgia and Alabama in the playoff means LSU to the Peach

Well not sending them back to the Peach would be one of the deciding factors.

Another factor would be a potential UF/UCF match up. That one, along with LSU/Michigan, both made sense match up wise. What wouldn't make sense is sending UF and UCF to Arizona though, with Atlanta being right there.

Why even play conference championship games?

How are they going to seed the top 4 if Bama stays in?

1) Clemson
2) Georgia
3) Notre Dame
4) Alabama

Clemson getting fricked for the second year in a row by having to face Bama in the first round.

Probably how you had it. Clemson does kind of get screwed, but you were going to have to beat them to win it anyway. OU really gets screwed, because they get left at home.

Another possible situation, if UGA beats Bama and both Bama and UGA make the playoffs, is if the committee would bump us ahead of UF, thus sending LSU to the Sugar.

I don't think it's likely. I don't think the Georgia win will be viewed as a bigger deal than the head to head, but it is possible.

Conference championships won, Head-to-head victories, performance against common opponents, and other relevant factors are all listed as "tie-breakers" when resumes are seen as equal.

Doesn't necessarily say any one is more important than the other. Committee can basically do whatever they want.

Considering we’re playing Texas next year I’d bet not unless WVU gets that spot?

I don’t think it likely either but who knows what goes on in that room. I can see a conversation where someone asks do they keep Florida ahead of LSU. If it gets brought up and someone pushes that LSU has by far the better win and their head to head gets pushed aside because it was a close loss on the road then who knows. It’s only one spot, I don’t see why people would say absolutely no chance.

I’m beginning to think Bama doesn’t get in CFP if they lose. ND is in, Clemson is in with a win. If OSU, UGA, and OU win they’ll all have the same record as Bama and will have won their conferences.

But if Bama is left out I think LSU is still good for a NY6 bowl right? Per the OP

Yeah I know. Not basing it on anything except my opinion. You can certainly make a case for either way.

It will have nothing to do with playing UT next year. If we are ranked higher than UF then we have to be in Sugar if Georgia/Bama are both in the playoffs.

If it's down to Bama, OU, OSU, you have...

Records- all the same

Conference championship - OU and OSU (although the committee has already shown this doesn't mean shite)

Loss- Bama will have the best loss. OSU by far the worst.

Best win- Bama and OSU are almost equal here with LSU and Michigan.

I think OSU's loss, plus their close calls against shitty teams eliminates them.

So it comes down to Bama and OU. I think you will start hearing all about the eye test, and Bama gets in.

Updated original post.

At this point you can pretty much say as long as Ohio State wins LSU is in.

If Northwestern wins then you have to hope the committee picks a 3 loss LSU over a 2 loss Ohio State.

Yeah if Northwestern wins we don't make NY6

As of now:

Sugar: Texas/WVU vs. Georgia
Rose: Ohio State vs. Washington
Peach: Florida vs. Michigan
Fiesta: LSU vs. UCF

If Northwestern wins:

Sugar: Texas/WVU vs. Georgia
Rose: Northwestern vs. Washington
Peach: Florida vs. Ohio State
Fiesta: Michigan vs. UCF

What's worse, dropping two games to Purdue and Northwestern or three to Bama (playoffs), UGA (super close to playoff) and aTm in a 7 OT shite fest?

Not sure if it's my purple and gold glasses, but I would say LSU has accomplished more.

I don't think they move ahead of OSU though.
