SEC championship loss

We play to win the game and we will....
But assuming we win out the last 3, but lose the SEC championship... as a one loss - do you think we still get in? I am confident yes.
But my follow up question is what gives us a better chance - lose to a one loss GA (and thus vie to be the second SEC team in) or lose to a 2 loss GA (ie Auburn beats them) where perhaps we are the first SEC team in even though we lost.
EDIT: Yeesh - To reframe as to not misconstrue worry or the like... statistically what do you think is a better result for LSU given the various scenarios that hypothetically could play out - GA beating Auburn or Auburn beating GA

If Bama can get in after not even ATTENDING the SEC championship then yes in that scenario LSU deserves the spot.

It’s one strategy to keep Bama out of the playoff. Play to win, but not a terrible consolation.

I think Penn State needs to win the B1G and OSU gets in with 1 loss.

People keep asking these hypothetical questions like anyone has the answer. LSU just needs to win.

We would probably make it. No guarantees but very unlikely we don’t get in at 3/4.
This team isn’t losing to anyone other than OSU though.

Let’s say we lose a close game against Georgia in the SEC Championship and that leaves Georgia, LSU and Bama with one loss each. And let’s say the selection committee picks two teams from the SEC. Obviously, Georgia would get in as a one loss team with an SEC Championship and a head to head win over us.
That leaves a choice between us and Bama.
There is no justifiable way to pick Bama over us.
We played a much better schedule. We’ve had much better wins. We would be the SEC West Champs. And we would have beaten Bama head to head at their place.
The only thing Bama would have going for itself was name recognition.

Seeing as how the process of invalidating our win began pretty much only minutes after the game ended, I'm not confident that we'd be in if we lose to UGA. The narrative would immediately shift to "why Bama is more deserving than LSU."

This is dumb.
This is a message board for fans to discuss LSU football. We got over the proverbial hump, and I would be surprised if we lost another regular season game, but the SECCG will be against a UGA team that has fixed a lot of their early season woes. They have a stout defense, and losing is most definitely possible. It does no harm to discuss that possibility.

Yeesh - who said I was worried.... just thought it an interesting hypothetical to discuss on a message board.
You know sort of like discussing Pitt beating WV, okie beating Missouri, and us needing to beat Tenn on 2007. It was fun to discuss and then magic happenned.

There is no better barometer than head to head.
