It’s almost impossible to think LSU, with its two god awful losses, has any shot at all for the playoffs. The Georgia win does create a path to at least get in the discussion.

The tigers would first have to beat # 1 Bama and then run the regular season table. The beating Bama part would be an historic upset, but historic upsets happen.

Then Georgia would move up to number 1 or 2 in the country and LSU would have to beat them.

A two loss SEC champion who beat two number one teams at the end of season at least gets in the discussion.

So you’re saying there’s a chance? It’s about as much a chance as me hooking up with Jessica Biel. But for those who want to defy the odds, we want Georgia to win out. #fakehope





You dumb.... LSU has not shot whatsoever to get in playoffs.

It's easy to say now oh LSU has no chance even if they beat an undefeated Alabama and Georgia.. but if LSU were to really go on that kind of a run and beat both teams while undefeated and ranked top 4.. then that's pretty hard to leave out.. granted others are losing..

It's not going to happen any ways so it's whatever. We were worried about even making a bowl game.

Okay, putting aside the fact that this was an unnecessarily rude response, it’s just not grammatically correct.

Every complete sentence has to have a subject and a verb and express a thought.

“You dumb” is a bit of an ironic insult because there is no verb, which begs the question of which one of us is dumb.

Why do you start threads that are out there in left field?

A better question might be why we both don’t have something better to do on a Saturday night than hang out on tiger rant. On top of being dumb, I need to get a life.

That’s exactly the scenario I described. I think it should be whoever has beat the best teams or perform like the best team that should go to the playoffs. The SEC Champion is always considered in the playoffs. In this scenario, you could argue that LSU deserves it more than UGA and Alabama. Yes, we have two ugly losses. We also have the best two wins in this scenario. If you always go with who you lost to then you miss the eye test. I think Iowa State might even have an argument if they win out and things fall their way. I love people saying never. That just makes it all the more likely it will happen.

I would love to see the turmoil it would cause if it happens like that. It would be glorious.

We are going to get absolutely demolished by bama and drop one more before it’s over.

IF we win out and beat Alabama *and* Georgia along the way the playoff committee would be foolish to leave us out of the fourth slot because of early season missteps

The problem is we're not going to win out

Know we won’t win SEC but if we did win SECCG and we beat both #1 Georgia and #1 Alabama and handed them their only loss then in that scenario we’d probably get in as 2 loss SEC champion. It’d be impossible for the committee to choose between Bama and Georgia so we’d get the pass. Would be like scenario where Baylor and TCU both should’ve been in so neither got in cuz committee couldn’t choose between the 2

Penn state was a two loss conference champion and they didn't make it last year. A one loss Baka would make it before a two loss SEC champion.

We need to beat bama and hope they lose to auburn. Otherwise the committee easily picks a 1 loss bama over us. Unless we blow out bama at bama. Which likely won't happen.
