Not ahead so much as they will not be dropped out.

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.
There’s multiple 2 loss SEC teams ranked ahead of an undefeated B1G team in their rankings
They have 5 SEC teams in the playoff as of now and most likely only 2-3 of them will finish with fewer than 3 losses
Based on their rankings they’re telling you right now at least one 3 loss SEC team will get in if not multiple

No no. You got it all wrong. This will be 2007 + an ole miss loss NC team. We will beat bama/texas/UTe then lose to a Arkansas in 3OT when McFadden get a TRO and plays
LSU Matt will be here to run all the options that will happen to get us in the group of 12

Just not LSU

It’s do or die for lsu it seems. Bama ranking means they view them differently and it’s completely predictable

Win this weekend and it could buy us another loss given Bama’s current ranking

im gonna be honest with you bro. if you don't think at least 1 3 loss SEC team gets in this year, you shouldn't be able to vote or reproduce. it's really that simple

We need to just win baby. I don't expect any help from the SEC with Sankey drooling on their shoulder. And clearly Bama has had a standing bias within the cfp committee since it was established. If Bama has a bias, then LSU has a negative bias. We have to take it to them and just beat their arse convincingly.

I don’t have any faith in the Playoff committee
Posted on 11/5/26 at 6:59 am to EPORE
I kind of feel the same way os OP. We need to win out. If we have 3 losses, it will be completely out of our hands and we have to hope for others to drop games around us, then it would be up to a human committee.
It's very possible that Bama, Texas, LSU, Tenn, OM, UK all have 3 losses.
The 2 loss teams are a lock. The murk of all the 3 loss teams will come down to head to heads, with the committee looking at who had the worse losses, who looks better currently, etc. It will be controversial. Will the committee put 5 SEC teams in?
If LSU has 3 losses the only they get in is if the committee puts 5 SEC teams in.
If OM & UK end with 3 losses, how do we get into the playoffs over them? They have the head to head although very close games. Now lets say UK only loses1 more, then UGA, UK, OM will be in with 1, 2, 3 losses.

We can win big games after this one.
Bama cannot.
Bama sched after LSU is a cake walk. Auburn game might be tough. LSU needs to give Bama that 3rd loss. With Bama at 5, they will make CFP with 3 losses.

Let’s see if LSU can go on a run!

There could be more than 1 3 loss SEC team to get in but not us with 3
Posted on 11/5/26 at 7:19 am to Veritas
We have a 1 game schedule. Bama on Saturday.
Posted on 11/5/26 at 7:24 am to EPORE
I'm not convinced that's the case - I believe there will be at least one and possibly two 3 loss teams in the playoff. And that could reasonably be the loser of this game if that team wins out.

I kind of agree. I believe there is some negative bias as one poster mentioned, but also believe there’s a wait a see crowd that will move LSU 7 or 8 spots if LSU gets its signature win this weekend. That cushion may be enough to allow for one close loss to either of UT’s!

Not for Alabama. There's a reason they ranked them #5 because if they lose they won't drop far and their remaining schedule is cake. Listen to the "experts" talking about a 3 loss Bama team making the playoffs. The committee will always help Alabama get into the playoffs. Its BS@

agreed, if a close loss like we did at KY to Tenn, after beating Bama and Texas.. but only if we beat Ark

Sing this to the tune of "Deck The Halls"
"Three-loss Bama in the Playoffs, Fa la la la laa la la la laaaaa."
IMHO a 3 loss Bama gets in this year and when we go to 24 next year, 4 loss Bama probably makes it in.
IMHO Bama never has to worry about not making the Playoffs every year. I think they will be in every year going forward, even with 3 losses and maybe even 4.
