LSU has a much better chance at #1 in the final CFP than most think.

Just look at the match ups this weekend.

#1 OSU vs #8 Wisconsin
#2 LSU vs #4 Georgia
#3 Clemson vs NR Virginia
#5 Utah vs #13 Oregon
#6 OU vs #7 Baylor

OSU will beat down Wisconsin. Clemson will win easily. LSU should win by 2 scores+ against an injured Georgia. Oklahoma has to blowout Baylor to have a chance at #4. The X factor is Oregon. They beat Utah and Utah will drop out of the top 10. Along with Baylor and Wisconsin. If this happens, things get really interesting for the committee.

Let's say this does happen? Using the way the committee has voted, this will most likely be the top 10 and 11 through 14 in the final CFP. The committee will decide the order.
1. OSU
2. LSU
3. Clemson
4. OU
5. Georgia
6. Florida
7. PSU
8. Auburn
9. Oregon
10. Bama

11. Utah
12. Baylor
13. Michigan
14. Wisconsin

So does LSU's 4 CFP Top 10 wins(over 4 different opponents) mean more than OSU's 4 CFP top 12/14 wins (by 3 opponents and only 1 top 10 win)? Remember, the committee decides who the strongest teams are. By there own addmission, LSU has been more impressive than OSU.

I think it will be very tough on the committee not to move LSU to #1.

I used to think we would be #1 no doubt with a win over UGA. Now I’m not sure.

Yeah.

We need to go out and win big.

My only concern is Ohio St getting to play after.

I assume they blowout Wisconsin, but if they can somehow, miraculously, keep it close then I like us to be #1.

We deserve #1 with a win, but it may take a great win against UGA.

Did you read the article by SI that pretty much explains exactly how the committee can keep Ohio State #1 even if we beat UGA? The committee has pretty much shown that they equate Ohio State beating Wisconsin with LSU beating UGA. That's why they artificially inflated the rankings of Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan, and even Cincinnati. It's much more likely that OSU will blow out Wisconsin than we will beat UGA badly. They will use that to keep Ohio State in the top spot. Pack your bags because we're going to the desert.

Teams don't drop that much in the final poll. I think 3 spots was the most in the playoff era

Number one only counts in title game. Clemson blew out Bama.

They haven't admitted anything, other than they have concerns with the LSU defense and the rankings back that up m

The CFP Committee has lost their credibility. But it won't matter what they're cooking to fix because the Heisman Joe Burrow is on a mission to get the natty on January 13, 2020.

LSU has exactly zero chance. Indeed, LSU could beat UGA 1000 to 0 and they still would not move up to number one.

As you obviously haven't been paying close attention to the shenanigans of this bullshite CFP committee.
