This is certainly a new and refreshing topic for discussion.

I just don’t see it

If Ole Miss & UK both finish with 3 losses like us they have the head to head on us. Plus CFP Committee has shown repeatedly that they’ll take the easy way out

Not winning out. The point is moot.

Ole Miss is only two spots ahead of us and a much easier ride remaining. We beat two playoff teams while they play one mediocre team and one bad team I think we’ll jump them. Can’t just look at head to head as everyone has beaten everyone by now.

if you’re playing out the season you also have to put 9-3 lsu, Texas and Tennessee in that tiebreaker

The tiebreaker wouldn’t just be between us and the teams we lost to, it’d be the teams we beat too

Ole Miss


They are not getting in over us if we both win out. They are only ranked 2 spots ahead of us and don't have any games left on their schedule to move them up. We play #6 and #8 (could be higher).

They also have 2 blowout losses that is hurting their resume. Head to head isn't the only thing that matters.

In an insane 5 team tiebreak of LSU, UTs, UK and Ole Miss I think we belong at the top of that cluster

In that scenario no one else in the country will have a stretch over the last couple weeks as us and committee favors who is playing the best right now and in a multi team tiebreak where everyone lost and won in a round robin we’d jump to the top of that heap imo. Playoff predictors agree if you have all those teams finishing 9-3

ETA that tiebreaker would be for third place in the SEC fwiw. The CFP will have to choose AT LEAST 1 of us. They are not going to put only 2 SEC teams in the playoff. They’ve seeded 5 SEC teams in the first 2 polls.

If we win out, then yes.


Do we win out? I doubt it. I think Tennessee is almost certainly going to be a loss and Texas is a tossup. I love Lane being at LSU, and I'm not losing all faith in him since it's his first year here, but he does have better talent now than anywhere else he's ever been and he's still shitting the bed in big games. That has me concerned for Texas and Tennessee.

I had Tennessee as an easy automatic win in the preseason but wow have they proved me wrong. They are a great team and I can see this being a tough game for LSU especially in Knoxville

it's ridiculous to speculate at this point. we haven't yet beaten a team with a stout front 7 and we have 2 more right in front of us. let's win one of these first, please.
