This is what I think the final CFP poll will look like if LSU wins out.

I want to start this by showing there is already precedent with the college football playoff committee ranking 10-2 Auburn as the #2 team in the country the week of conference championship games. For one they think the SEC is an entirely different level of play than any other conference, and if they feel LSU is a top 4 team with 2 losses we will still make it.



Let's say this is you final rankings prior to conference championships

#1 Georgia 12-0
#2 Ohio State 12-0
#3 TCU 12-0
#4 Tennessee 11-1
#5 Oregon 11-1
#7 LSU 10-2
#7 USC 11-1
#8 Michigan 11-1

Post Conference championship games
The easy ones in this scenario:

#1 Ohio State 13-0 Big-10 champ
#2 TCU 13-0 Big-12 champ

Now we have to figure it out

Oregon 12-1 Pac-12 champ
LSU 11-2 SEC champ
Clemson 12-1 blowout by ND champ
Georgia 12-1 SEC runner up
Tennessee 11-1

So let's talk about it:

Oregon:
Only loss is to a very good Georgia but since then they have turned their season around blew out and won their conference, and the craziest part is bo nix is a Heisman candidate.

LSU:
Lost by a blocked extra point in game 1 of the season. Was hot and cold to start. Got blewout by Tennessee at home after making tons of mistakes. Then proceeds to put on big boy pants, whoops Florida, embarrasses ole miss, shocks Bama, proceeds to sweep up the trash at the end of the schedule before knocking off the unanimous #1 team in the country and won the SEC Championship game.

Clemson:
frick Clemson and Dabo Swiney's pity party. They just got blown out by the worst Notre Dame team in 10 years. Who cares if they won a cripple fight in the All Cripple Conference championship game.

Georgia:
They ANNIHILATED Oregon to open the season. Got lazy against a lot of really bad teams throughout the season but still won. Proceeded to Stomp Tennessee in November and went to the SEC championship game before losing to a surging LSU team.

Tennessee:
They beat by Bama as underdogs. Stomped an LSU team that wasn't playing consistently good football, but proceeded to be embarrassed by Georgia and missed the SEC championship game.

So with that said here are your picks for top 4 in my opinion:

Scenario 1:

#1 Ohio State 13-0 Big-10 champ
#2 TCU 13-0 Big-12 champ
#3 Oregon 12-1 Pac 12 champ
#4 LSU 11-2 SEC champ

#5 Georgia 12-1 SEC runner up
#6 Tennessee 11-1
#7 Clemson 12-1 ACC champ
#8 Michigan 11-1

Scenario 2:

But let's say TCU drops a game, they haven't been a good team all year and have been squeaking games out. Being undefeated is the only thing propping their resume up right now:

#1 Ohio State 13-0 Big-10 champ
#2 Oregon 12-1 Pac 12 champ
#3 LSU 11-2 SEC champ
#4 Georgia 12-1 SEC runner up

#5 Tennessee 11-1
#6 TCU 12-1 Big-12 champ
#7 Clemson 12-1 ACC champ
#8 Michigan 11-1

The CFP committee more credit for how good a team is playing in November vs how a team played in September and October. The SEC is also by far the best conference top to bottom in the country. Should LSU win the SEC championship game, the committee will be forced to place LSU above the team they beat and the team the runner up blew out. The committee will hold significantly more weight for LSUs win over Georgia, vs Tennessees October win over LSU. LSU will have beaten 2 top 10 teams and the #1 team in the country by the final week of the season. If LSU doesn't get in then no SEC team will.

I do want to follow this by saying I think TCU drops a game and scenario 2 is more likely.
