It will be Georgia and Alabama, and a bunch of 3-loss teams...

Just win out...

We would be behind OM, Kentucky, and likely Tennessee in the pecking order as possible 3 loss teams. At some point, you need wins on your resume against teams with a pulse.

Nah, beating #6 Texas then #6ish Tennessee late in the year would prop us ahead of the rest of the 3-loss teams that don’t have quality wins remaining on their schedule to boost their resume late in the year
Just need Georgia to win out too to keep South Carolina and Mizzou out of the 3-loss tiebreaker cuz those teams beating Georgia would prop them ahead of us.
We would need Texas and Tennessee to finish 9-3. At 9-3 those 2 would be ranked ahead of Kentucky and likely ole Miss and we’d be ranked ahead of Texas and Tennessee as 3rd highest ranked SEC team

Sadly there’s potential for the tigers to end the season 4 or more loss team. This is Lanes first season but there’s improvement needed.

Sorry, but based on what I've seen from this team, I don't see us beating Texas and Tennessee. I hope I'm wrong, but our OL gets pushed around too often against quality DL's and we seem to find ways to lose games against anyone halfway decent.

But we’re going 8-4 at best. No way we win at Neyland

We might need Kentucky to lose to Florida at home or Mizzou on the road...but the playoff committee won't care about internal conference pecking order if LSU has same conference record as Kentucky.
Far fetched that we make the playoffs? Maybe...but win out and we could have an argument as No. 3 SEC team...

If we win out there is no chance Tennessee or Ole Miss finish ahead of us.
Zero.

All is right with wins against Texas and UT.

Is their red zone defense better or worse than Alabama’s?
Never mind I looked it up. Alabama has the 134th ranked red zone defense. Texas has the 17th ranked red zone defense.

Not. Gonna. Happen.
We will lose to either TX or TN, and possibly both. Settling for 3 points in the red zone didn't just happen yesterday. And this late in the season, you're not going to fix it. As evidenced yesterday, a team can move the ball 450-500 yds a game, but if you can't scorre TD's its all wasted.

True.

Maybe. I guess we’ll find out next week. I hope we run Texas out of the stadium.

Chicken's actually right.
Win out and LSU is in. Head to head matters, but it’s not all that matters (and it shouldn't be all that matters). The committee has made it abundantly clear that it looks at so much more than just that.
Alabama, Texas and Tennessee is the maws of pain, as far as scheduling goes. Win the last two and LSU is playoff bound.

Just score from the Texas 21 yard line…problem solved

This team won’t go 2-0 against the UTs

My big issue is that Texas and Tenn have really good defenses...so until Lane shows that he can scheme late in the season to change our red zone playcalling and execution, we have no reason to think that the next two weeks will be different.

Yep. Watched LSU play as well. We stand a better chance at beating Texas than we did Bama. But I’m not holding my breath.
Then there’s that road game a little north of Baton Rouge.
