LSU Georgia in Back to Back Games in Atlanta

If we defeat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game (in Atlanta) there is a real chance that we would be rematched with them in the Peach Bowl for the semifinals - if we are 2 and 3. Wonder if that has ever happened. :)

Wouldn't happen thru would have LSU 3 and uga 4
Posted on 11/8/22 at 11:57 am to Tiger Phil
I’d guess they’d put UGA at 4 to avoid that.

How would that happen?

Nah
LSU is 4th at best
Georgia is 2 or 3

LSU would be #4. Bank on it.
UGA would still be #2 or #3, so no matchup in the semi.

If we defeat Georgia, I could see the committee dropping them only to #2, and slot us at #3. Then the eventual Pac-12 champ or Mich/Ohio State loser would be #4.
Not that hard to imagine.
They will not seed to avoid rematches - they've said that in the past.

We own Georgia can’t wait to play them again

I really don’t think they would rank a team (UGA) higher than the team (LSU) that just beat them.
I think your scenario plays out as
#1 Ohio St/Michigan.
#2 TCU
#3 LSU
#4 UGA/Tenn/PAC-12/B10

I don’t believe anyone in any way connected to any aspect of anything having to do with any part of this stuff.

Imagine Tennessee not getting in after watching all the years a 1-loss, non SEC champ BAMA gets in
Wouldn't that just be a swift quick to the groin for their fanbase

If LSU were to win out and beat UGA in the SECCG the most likely opponent would be the Ohio St/Michigan winner I think. UGA would fall to 2nd or 3rd with a loss to LSU and would likely play whoever comes out of the PAC-12. All of this is assuming TCU will lose to Texas or Baylor.

They would seed us in a way to avoid that. But there are so many variables and potential possibilities that could make for some really interesting conversations by the committee and really awkward explanations of not only the Final Four, but the seedlings.
I think we get in as 11-2 SEC Champs with wins over (likely) 10-2 Bama, 10-2 Ole Miss, and what would have been #1 12-1 Georgia. But I don’t think it’s 100% like a lot of y’all assume. And there’s definitely no guarantee Georgia would also get in.
Clemson losing was HUGE. We really need TCU to lose 1, preferably 2. But what do they do with a potential 12-1 Oregon who Beats 11-1 (regular season) USC for their 12th straight win and the PAC 12 Championship? But their 1 loss was a complete domination by Georgia with the same record? Hard to justify Oregon being in over Georgia, but they could use the conference championship to justify it. But if Georgia gets in, how do they justify Oregon being seeded higher? And how do they seed a 2-loss LSU over anybody, really. Like I said, I think we get in over Georgia with a win over them. BUT, if we both get in, it wouldn’t surprise me if they are seeded ahead of us. I could see:
1) Ohio State/Michigan winner
2) Georgia
3) Oregon
4) LSU
They could justify that without having to admit that a big part of that was avoiding an LSU/Georgia rematch in the 1st round. But TCU is the wildcard. I’m starting to think the Michigan/Ohio State loser is out, because I don’t think they’ll have any impressive wins. I guess Penn State would be the only one.
And Tennessee is out, even with their 2 big wins against us and Bama. They’d have 1 less win than anybody but us and no division championship and no other potential good win on their schedule. They’ll be ranked ahead of us in tonight’s CFP poll and stay there until we (hopefully and hypothetically) beat Georgia, which would have us leap frog them.
Goddamn, it feels good to be in these conversations again. Reminding me of all those LSUMatt BCS threads. Those were fun as hell.

There is a lot of debate on whether we would even get in if we run the table and beat GA(which I don't buy). That said, we would be at #4 and GA would be #2 or 3. No way we would be higher than #4.

there's no debate. They're not leaving out Georgia and they couldn't leave out the team that just beat them

Super naive without knowing how the rest of the games play out. But rest assured, there will be debate.

I don't believe it's possible for LSU/Ga to be seeded 2 & 3 this year either. But I believe SEC haters would rather see LSU/Ga in the semi finals than to see 2 SEC teams in the championship game again.

TCU is still undefeated. I doubt they would get snubbed for a 2 loss LSU.

Nah, one would be 3 other 4
