Who else loves the idea of this? Don’t get me wrong I’d love to stick it to Texas or Georgia but seeing how that A&M game played out and familiarity of opponent give me A&M again.

Zero chance Baker isn’t prepared for Reed at a neutral site. Also zero chance Ramos is missing multiple kicks in a neutral site.

Don’t get me started on how Nussmier would be out for blood in round two. Winning the SEC is certainly on the table here. Beat Bama first and let’s hope A&M wins out because we’re not done yet!

I would love it, but I’d rather see A&M finish 9-3 & we still make the playoffs at 10-2.

ETA: I guess we would still be in SEC CG in this scenario if LSU, UGA, Tex are all 7-1

I’d rather be UGA or Texas in that scenario. Avoid the SECCG get a home playoff game

They have to get by USC first in their house. I hope they lose. But, LSU has to many injuries and uncertanties. They will not make the playoffs. LSU will be 9-3 or 8-4. Too many problems and it looks like CBK's BS is running out. The spiral down begins unfortunately.

The best case scenario is that:

AM loses to USCe and Texas

LSU wins out

Tennessee loses two more

UGA and UT play in the SECCG

LSU likely makes the playoff in this scenario without having to play in ATL

Throw in USCw winning out

If LSU wins out, they’re in the SECCG. We own the tie breaker over UGA with a win vs Bama

On a neutral site perhaps our run game would hum to the tune of a smooth 2.1 yards per carry

LSU would play either Texas or Georgia (depending on how a few other games go) in the SEC CG in this scenario.

What needs to happen for:

LSU to win out and not be in the SECCG

And AM not be in it either

If a&m wins out they’re in it. If LSU wins out they’re in it.

Doesn’t matter what happens with the rest of the league. Plain and simple

not that simple at all.
tie breaker (for more than 2 teams) goes to combined winning % of conference opponents.
so what happens in the rest of the league absolutely matters in determining which teams get in.

the most likely scenario predicting games the rest of the way puts LSU in.
but those games still have to be played first.

In your scenario are you assuming Texas goes into Kyle field and beats A&M? The way Texas has looked I certainly don’t see that happening.

The burning question here would be whether A&M can score on Texas. I could see that game being super low scoring like 23-17 or something like that.

I just trust that Aggie DL vs that Texas OL. Ewers is better than anything A&M has but can Texas stop the run?

Well we all know anyone who has State on their schedule is screwed then. Plus that Ole Miss win for LSU is looking real good.

Texas has an awful conference schedule. This metric would crush them


Let’s not forget Arkansas. They have a chance to screw things up here for Texas. Horns come to NWA on 11/16. Lose that game and horns are out. Perhaps out of the CFP too

not my scenario. the guy I replied to listed A&M losing to Texas as being part of his equation.

LSU is in the SEC CG no matter what as long as they win out. Hopefully we wouldn’t be punished if we were to lose that game and should still be in the playoffs even at 10-3

It depends on how they play in the SEC CG. if they get murdered then they’re out. If it’s a super tight game with Nussmier going off, there’s no way they leave LSU out.

At the same time, I’d be very high on the trajectory of the program if they win the SEC championship. What happens in the CFP is just lagniappe at that point. People idiotically would still doubt BK and say he’s not a good fit.
