LSU vs OU/Utah in Atlanta is a layup

LSU vs tOSU in NOLA is essentially a home game



The committee is making the semis hard for the Tigers on purpose because otherwise the path to the championship is too damn easy


LSU-Clemson is your de facto championship game

This thought would have been better if it never left your head.

In 2011 title game, there were as many Bama fans as LSU fans in the Superdome, if not more. It was weird.

Face value for cheapest ticket for title game this year is over $500. Not sure what to expect.

LSU probably won't have a huge advantage in the Dome if we make it that far.

Sorry, we’ll schedule harder teams next year to make our road to the championship harder. Bama wasn’t good enough, so we’ll go to Foxborough and take on the Pats in a classic.

When the committee starts taking into account the location of semifinal games, we have a real problem.

LSU fans will sell their tickets just like 2011 if they get the chance

Bama fans will sell their mobile homes for tickets and they have a huge New Orleans alumni base. OSU would have a good turnout but lsu would have the advantage

Or, more likely, like refs calling a game, prejudices enter the picture.

If LSU fans don't turn out in huge numbers for the semifinal and final (if we make it), then it would be pretty damn sad. We've waited 8 long years for this.

Obviously you did not attend the LSU/OSU CG in New Orleans January 2008. OSU fans outnumbered LSU fans.It appeared to be a 55/45 percentage.

I think the last bowl game where LSU fans outnumbered opposing fans was the 2007 Sugar Bowl versus Notre Dame. We travel well, but not nearly in the numbers that we used to.

Haven't seen what they costs directly but the e-mail I got from LSU said CFP tickets available through LSU (20,000) were as follows $425, $525, $575, $675, $775, $875 (Club).

I put in but my priority ranking probably means I don't get any. Worth a shot though.

They shouldn’t be trying to create matchups they like. They should be ranking teams according to who they believe is best and they’re full of shite when they Ohio State.

Are you joking? I was actually there and the crowd was AT LEAST 60-40 LSU. The pic below is pretty much the entire OSU crowd. The rest was all purple and gold.

Distinct difference I think there was OSU knew they were going for a while. We still had the conference champ game. The big 10 still didn’t have the conf title game yet. They were done and penciled in at 1 or 2 after beating Michigan. LSU didn’t think they’d make it after the Arkansas loss, thus OSU having two full weeks extra time buying tickets.

Fair has nothing to do with it. If we beat UGA we are more deserving of the #1 ranking BY FAR. There's no way to twist it otherwise. If we're still #2 after we beat UGA then it should be obvious to everyone with a brain that the cfp committee is biased in some form against us.
