#7 in SP+
#6 in Sagarin
#7 in FPI

Root for a glut of 3 loss teams, win out, and LSU will be squarely in the mix. Not really my opinion either, the numbers don’t lie.

Won't be loving us when we drop another one which is almost guaranteed at this point. I say we beat Texas somehow and lose to Tenn. I have a strong feeling refs about to put it on LSU because these 2 teams have a better path to playoffs than LSU right now.

The metrics probably will still love us, but the 4th loss won’t work. That’s why I mentioned win out

Let’s say LSU did make the playoffs. Would you prefer to have your arse beaten by ND, Miami, Alabama (again), Utah, Indiana, for sure UGA or Tennessee (again)?

Just know, this is not a playoff built team.

Now we don’t even want to make the CFP because of fear

What a pathetic fanbase

If the numbers don’t lie, then why did LSU lose to Bama. All the pre-game numbers had us beating them.

Stop getting your hopes up. Win out and you’re still not in. Think the committee is putting a 3 loss LSU over a 3 loss Kentucky or Ole Miss?

They aren’t going to. Season is over.

Because even when we’re getting our arse kicked we still doubled up Bama 27 to 13 on first downs and outgained them by a lot. Those are the underlying stats the metrics look at

We’re still #1 defense and offense in the SEC, problem is turnovers and redzone efficiency and mind boggling decisions though that are affecting what matters, our record

No, it’s just the truth. Stats are for losers and fools.

“Hey, guys! Technically we really won because we lead in time of passion, yardage and first downs! The committee has to put us in!”

Pathetic.

When you out gain your opponent by almost 200 yds and have 14
more first downs the robot is cornfused

You always want to be in the playoffs no matter what. You don't know what opponent you would draw and football is all about matchups. A better overall team can lose to a slightly inferior team if there are roster matchups that work in the inferior teams favor.

Example A: Miami and ND last year. They won’t ignore the head to head.

LSU isn’t make the playoffs.
