But Kentucky will act as LSU’s ceiling starting this week. If Kentucky loses to Tennessee this weekend, then that is going to cap how high LSU can rise in the rankings even after beating number 5 Alabama.

Nice try Sankey.

Look at the losses. Bama lost to 2 UGA and 13 Tennessee.

Tennessee lost to 7 Texas and now 21 USCe when they were unranked.

Rank Tennessee lower if they want, but 8 spots is a bit much.

Sounds like the committee is setting up for 5 SEC teams to get in...

UGA, LSU, Bama, Texas, and either Kentucky or Tennessee.

Count me as wanting to play in the final SECCG, specifically against Kentucky.

Playing in five SECCGs in eleven years from 2001-2011 made me appreciate the SEC title chase.

To only make it to one more in the last 15 years because of Saban’s rigged dynasty is something that really pisses me off and I would love to go out carrying the last banner from the golden era of CFB.

Beating that nerd out of Lexington and erasing that game from memory would be the perfect ending to Lane’s first season.


Suppose that means UK has to win out and UGA and OM both have to lose one more along the way. One of them loses head to head this weekend so need one more stumble along the way.

It’s not a problem… bama and Tennessee have same record and bama is ranked 9 spots ahead of them even though UT won H2H

If Kentucky loses this week to Tennessee which they’re supposed to we will jump them this week. It’s not like they blew us out

I hope you’re right. Far from certainty though.

We don’t get a sniff at the playoffs with 3 losses.
We will likely get “backroomed” out of it with 2 losses.
Alabama is a lock with 3 losses.
It’s kind of a crock of shite.

I don't completely disagree with you but the problem is that they pick and choose when to hold head to head over someone. They are clearly doing that with Bama & UK. But using that same logic, how is a 6-2 Tennessee ranked 13 with a H2H win over 6-2 Alabama that's ranked 5. I understand it's a tricky year but that just doesn't make a lick on sense to me.

We would be a literal lock at 10-2 and would have a chance at playing in the SEC championship.

LSU will get compared directly with Kentucky
This week, if Kentucky loses and LSU wins, we will have beaten a #5 team that also handled KY. LSU would jump KY on the Bama win alone, albeit w/ TX and TN in the future. Bottomline, LSU controls its own destiny. A loss in the next 4 weeks changes that.

I know Kentucky winning out probably eliminates our chances at the SEC title game.


As much as I would LOVE to Sankey hand the SEC title to Lane, the 2 teams in the SECCG are getting screwed.

An extra really hard, 10th SEC game. Less time to het healthy and prepare for a playoff run.

If the goal is National Title, I’d rather get into the playoff without having to play that extra game

What an idiotic take

There is literally ZERO chance that a 10-2 LSU gets left out.

If LSU wins out, and Tennessee beats Kentucky this week, there’s a good chance that LSU will have beaten 3 top 10 teams in a row.

ESPN will merrily hop aboard the LSU bus. I've seen it a number of times now.
