TAMU isn’t beating SCe. Their defense will shutdown rushing and Simmons will run on them.

Unless somehow Kelly and Sloan miraculously learn how to coach overnight, we're not winning out

If you win it you are in the playoffs...if you lose it you don't deserve to go to the playoffs. IMO...that should hold true for every conference championship game.

It needs to be where all 4 conferences have a championship game and win or lose if you make the game you are in the playoff. Then either select the top 4 remaining or even go to 16 teams and select the top 8. Seems pretty simple really.

Also, playing meaningful games out of conference is a thing of the past. In the current format we have to get out of all meaningful non conference games and play cupcakes. Loses are too damning now and conference play is simply too difficult.

Probably so, we talk of the poor offensive play calling, yes horrible, the poor decisions by Nuss in the 2nd half, the poor defense against the option but the bottom line is this, Lsu is not getting the kind of talent that Geo and Ala have gotten for a few years now. Next year's class looks like a good one, and we'll need more years of that to be "elite." For now, we're an average team in the SEC.

LSU is out if Tennessee beats Georgia and Texas beats A&M according to that

Even in that case it’s not so clear-cut. If Ole Miss beats UGA, for example, A&M and LSU rematch for the SECCG (because our opponents would have the same record).

Basically in a 4-way tie between LSU/aTm/Tennessee/Texas, the question is whether it gets reduced to a 3-way tie between LSU/Texas/Tennessee.

The 4-way tie will go to opponent win%. If LSU wins or ties A&M at that point, we are in. If A&M wins and it gets reduced to a 3-way tie, we are out because of common opponents.

Conference championship games need to be done away with now that there’s a 12 team playoff. We’ve all seen enough by the end of the regular season to determine who should be in, and a team should never be punished for making a CCG and losing, only to be jumped by a team that didn’t even play in one.

I said this a week or two ago but there’s an elegant solution to this. Just finalize the CFP rankings before the conference championship games.

Then the only direction anyone playing in a conference championship can go is up - either to a first round bye for teams who have already secured a spot, or to a playoff bid for teams who haven’t. Or potentially both for P4 teams sitting just outside the at-large threshold.

Conference championships would still have a lot of value, with none of the risk/downside apart from potential injuries.

If A&M drops one then you’re in a two way tie with A&M with them getting the nod for the head to head win.

I have heard it stated before

Not sure if it holds water. They may have said that so they could protect the acc.

You should bet it then....what is it, the 3rd longest home winning streak in the nation, and it is a night game. Yeah dude, you sound smart.

that may be one of the dumbest things I have read today on here. If you lose to the SEC Champion, you don't deserve to be in a 12 team playoff? What a dumbass.

Not feeling good about 10-2 LSU making it unless we win the SECG.
Tennessee could back door.

We need the SEC to get 4 teams in
