re: LSU was just left out of the playoffs because that Stanford guy dropped that

I really don't know where the irrational exuberance about this team being a playoff contender comes from. The defense is still pathetic and paper thin in the secondary. What happens if LSU loses at Bama next week? Will the same people be demanding a new head coach?

It's kinda embarrassing that some think we should make the playoff. Bottom line the dog shite defense of the 1st half of the season is rightfully keeping us out. It remains to be seen if we can continue to improve and perhaps get us an SEC championship and NY6 bowl game.

SEC has not done well Out of conference this year. A 2 loss sec team is not getting in over a 1 loss P-5 conference champ.

1 loss Bama beating an undefeated UGA could be left out due to the Texas loss if it comes down to 1 loss Texas or 1 loss bama for final spot.

Hilton unfortunately dropped our chance in Oxford.

Nope. LSU will be left out of the playoff because Matt House is unable to scheme an average to below average defense with a group of players that is more than capable.

Instead, this idiot has set a record in futility.

LSU probably doesn’t make it but the ACC is not looking that great outside of FSU. UNC losing last night to freaking Ga Tech is hurting them.

If FSU loses a game, and then loses to UNC in the title game and ends up with two losses, UNC would not be going to the title game over a two loss LSU.

LSU will almost assuredly not go to the playoffs, but FSU needs to lose one regular season game and the ACC CG to open the door if the PAC 11 teams don’t cannibalize each other or the Big 12.

let’s say’s we have a

Undefeated OSU/Michigan
Undefeated Washington

2 Loss SEC Champ LSU
1 Loss OU

I think we’re in.

Honestly-

I could see 2 Big 10 teams (undefeated Michigan, 1 loss Ohio State) taken before 2 loss LSU gets in.

And you're not addressing 1 loss UGA in that scenario. We saw last year with TCU, undefeated going into the conference championship carries a lot of weight. You might counter that TCU got scorched in the finals, but them beating Michigan in the semis would justify their making it.

I could see UGA, Fla State, a Big 10 team (the media is praying for it to be Ohio State now ) and Washington.

Like someone pointed out, LSU is desperately trying to get into the NY6 picture.
