I think lose to bama THEN win out. Losing to Tennessee would give us no chance to move back up. Agree?

Not sure why all the downvotes. I agree losing to TN would knock us out because its so late in the season.

Beating Bama and Texas with a a loss to Tennessee gives us the best path to being 3rd or 4th in the conference with 3 losses which gives us a great shot at being selected. Really need Ole Miss to lose to Georgia and lose one more preferably as well with Kentucky/georgia winning out in that scenario.

Win out and none of it matters.

No I think we want the 2 wins against better competition, Bama and Texas. The loss at Tenner would be more forgivable being on the road after that gauntlet

Personally I still prefer winning out and missing the SECCG. Although it would be kinda cool to win the final SECCG and watch Stankey hand over the trophy.

No, lose to Arkansas. You would likely just have beaten 3 top 10 teams at the time. Bama would be the least one I'd rather lose to. I do think the most likely loss, if we have one, would be Tn.

well KY ain't winning out. They could very easily drop 3 more games, starting with playing at TN this weekend. KY is a fraud.

I reject this premise.

LSU will not get in at 9-3 no matter who they lose to. Almost every voting member on the committee hates LSU/Kiffin. Any other 9-3 team would get the edge over LSU.

I like your optimism but the next 4 games are brutal. Tennessee on the road was an automatic win for most in the preseason but they are tough to beat in Knoxville. I think LSU can easily beat Texas and Alabama at home.

This is true. LSU is playing with a massive Kiffin/LSU tax.

10-2 or LSU won't get anything.

I agree, I'm still not buying KY. I've detailed their good fortune multiple times here so I won't again. I guess it might continue but typically that stuff catches up with you.

I can see 2 to 3 more losses in their future.

If we lose to Bama and beat UT & UT, that gives the UT's 3 losses and LSU has 3 losses but they just beat 2 of the 3 loss teams.
Assumptions:
UGA finishes with 1 loss.(Their remaining sched is not bad)
Bama with 2 losses (assuming they beat LSU, their Nov sched is easy)
UK finishes at 2 or 3 losses (they have Tenn, UF, and Mizzou left)
OM finishes with 3 losses (They lose to UGA)
UT & UT with 3 losses
Mizzou will have 3 or 4 losses (Tough Nov schedule)

With above scenario these will get into playoff:
UGA, Bama, UK, OM. LSU could maybe squeak in. Would they let a 5th team into a 12 team playoff? I don't know.

We need to win out and not leave it to any committee.

Agree 100% Kentucky still has to play at Tennessee which has always been their kryptonite no matter where they're playing that game and then they host Florida. Florida looked horrible yesterday but they could be up for that game and then they play at Missouri who could easily take Kentucky and then they finish with Louisville now. I realize Louisville is not a conference game but still could put a loss on them and hurt them. Kentucky with possibly two to three losses finishing up the season

Depends on where the team we lose to ends up and how we lose.

You sure about that? The thing is anyone can get beat now more than ever. I was totally wrong about NIL, it did not favor just a few but actually created parity because it spread out the good players. What it also did was create a situation where no one has any depth. If you’re a good player and not playing, you’re going to the portal. The days of “paying your dues and waiting your turn” are over and not coming back.

They are not a fraud at all. Outside of Lane, UK easily won the best coach hire last offseason and Stein has proven to be very good at portal evaluations.

Lets say they finish with 3 losses after losing to Tenn & UF/Mizzou. That will be a toss up on whether a 3 loss LSU or UK team gets in. UK beat LSU in a close one.
I really feel that LSU has to win out unless UK or OM just fall off the map. Because I think UK and OM with 3 losses get in over a 3 loss LSU team since they have the head to head.
