Idk about everything but Texas has 4 top 25 wins so even if they lose at LSU, I have a hard time seeing them not in the CFP with 3 losses.

I also just don’t know if an LSU win at Tennessee if enough to leapfrog basically everyone. I wouldn’t be shocked if Tennessee gets in with 3 losses over 3 loss LSU despite H2H unless LSU beats the Vols by 30

So UGA, Bama, Texas are almost locks. Then one maybe two more spots up for grabs. So maybe LSU and Tennessee?


Sure would be hilarious if A&M somehow upsets Texas

I don't think even a 2-loss ACC/BIG 12 runner up gets in over a 3 loss SEC. Maybe I'm biased, but I think they're going to give the SEC the benefit of the doubt against those type teams.

I think 4 SEC teams in the CFP is reasonable. 5 is a really a stretch but not totally unreasonable.

Can’t help but think 3 loss LSU Tennessee and Texas teams would do numbers and compete more than anything the ACC or big12 is putting out

One thing that is annoying to me is people like Moscona are saying that even if LSU wins out, they'll give Texas a nod due to quality wins despite the head to head matchup. But in the same breath says Kentucky (with 3 losses in this scenario) and Ole Miss would also get in over LSU due to the head to head matchup. That dog don't hunt. If Texas is getting in in that scenario, LSU is getting in over at least Kentucky and likely Ole Miss.

The path for LSU is Kentucky losing again.

That way you have Alabama/UGA, and then: LSU, Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Kentucky vying for 2-3 spots.

I believe it would be LSU and Texas with the other 3 fighting it out. I would guess they'd put Ole Miss in.

Good point. Would be great if Auburn pulls it off.


Not really. Don’t want to be in group of 3-loss SEC teams with one that beat you 31-13 at home. Best thing for us is for Bama to dominate the rest of their games and beat 11-1 Georgia in the SECCG. We don’t want to be in any part of a discussion with them.

Yeah, I think you see at least 2 possibly 3 teams from the SEC get in at 9-3! Thank the Big Ten mainly.

LSU isn't going to the playoffs. We haven't beat one ranked team. The future doesn't bode well for us.
