Article released yesterday and found interesting. They mention a few of 9-3 teams are in decent shape for CFP this year.
Primarily LSU at 84% chance in at 9-3.

Agreed.
But the chaos around the country this year is playing in our favor. Need more upsets and this becomes even more real.

LSU would be a near lock to make the CFP by not losing to Kentucky.

There already has been.

I thinks there will be multiple 9-3 SEC teams in the playoff

I mean ole miss would need to lose 3 more games, same with Kentucky. They beat us and if head-to-head matters, like the committee has said there is no way we get in ahead of them with 3 loses

For some reason I think this team is capable of winning both the Texas and Alabama game but for some weird reason I could see a struggle in Knoxville and maybe even Fayetteville depending on how they play on the road this Saturday.

I can see @ Tennessee being a big problem. We have been elite at home, especially on defense, and now Bama & Texas look way less dominant than they did a few weeks ago.

Kentucky and Ole Miss have both been blown out.

LSU lost by a TD and in OT by 1 point both on the road, If we finish this tough slate 5-1 or 6-0 then we are in. The way you lose matters a lot

Lol, even Gemini thinks the way LSU lost that Kentucky game was stolen from LSU on multiple occasions.

We will beat the shite out of Texas. Bama is the MUCH tougher game out of the 2.

way, way too early for this. Far too many variables.

Wait until after 10 games are played, then this kind of stuff will get more real.

But it's meaningless at this point.

All of the road games this season were always going to be a major challenge. Did anyone really think differently at any point?

Clemson is quietly sitting at 4-2. There's not a team remaining on their schedule that they cant beat. Will they win out? probably not... Lets hope Dabo can finish 9-3 or 10-2. If they can find a way to make the ACC Championship game, that would definitely help us at 9-3

LMAO

You have no way of knowing what will happen:

@Auburn
Alabama
Texas
@ Tenn

No way you looking at a 1 loss team (if they beat KY) being a lock with that schedule remaining.

but, I assume you are positioning yourself to say what a mistake we made not going for it on 4th down on our own end of the field up by 3 with a minute to go.
