Based on the CFP rankings, essentially LSU plays elimination games the rest of the way starting with Bama. I don't think a 3 loss team gets in.

A 3 loss SEC team is definitely getting in.

We shall see how the committee keeps Bama in the top twelve after the loss to LSU.

The 2024 game was an elimination game and LSU got their butts whipped. Huge let down. It’d be great for the shoe to be on the other foot this time around.

We can win big games after this one.
Bama cannot.

Definitely. If we beat Bama & Tx but lose to TN we are getting in.

And if it's us we'll need the head to head with Bama and Texas. Win those and lose a close game to UT on the road, and we have a shot.

But in reality, the only surefire way in is to win out. So let's fricking win out.

If LSU beats Bama and Texas, they can afford a loss to Tennessee.

I think winning any 2 of the next 3 gets us in, as long as the loss isn't horrible.

I don’t have any faith in the Playoff committee letting LSU in with 3 losses. Alabama on the other hand gets in with 3 losses.

No its not. Hell Bama is ranked 5. You think they not getting sucked off? They will need LSU and Tenn to be in a 3-loss tie with them and head to head wins not to get in.

Not for Bama

Given they are currently 5, 8 spots ahead of a team with the same record and who they LOST to basically guarantees they are in with 3 losses

Bama will go from 5 to 9
LSU will go from 14 to 11

And YES. Unless LSU just absolutely beats them like we did Clemson, Bama will still be ahead when the next rankings come.
