Win out ….

Then:
Kentucky should definitely lose one more.
Ole Miss - is the X factor….man if OU or Egg Bowl beats them…

I don’t see a scenario we ever pass Alabama.

This senario, we would have the resume being Tied for 3rd in SEC to get in playoff.

Saturday Night really is a big deal for many reasons.

If we both win out, LSU is 100% going to be ranked ahead of OU in the CFP rankings, regardless of OU being higher in the SEC standings.


True, but thread title put emphasis on SEC Standings.

I thought it was wild to see Oklahoma finish so high when playing around with MRED’s SEC Standings calculator.

Would you rather go to the playoffs or not go to the playoffs?

With a team like this it doesn’t matter to me. They would get toasted in the playoffs. I wish the playoffs had been limited to four teams.

Even if we don’t make the playoffs, finishing 9-3 would feel better than finishing 8-4 or 8-5. And we are totally capable.

LSU wouldn’t get toasted by anybody and can beat any team in the country.

Bama didn’t dominate us. They played not to lose, and it actually worked for them. We went down the field with ease all night and then failed to convert.

That was a solid win for Bama. No one believes LSU would win a rematch. Was it dominant? The score was…31-13. The stats looked a lot better than the score, but score is what matters, not stats. And Bama’s game plan was to give ground but take advantage of LSU’s proven inability to score in the red zone. So they conceded stats from the beginning. Yeah, it was a dominant win.

We’ve played three probable playoff teams and lost all three. One was close. one was an eight point loss and one was an 18 point loss. Good luck in the playoffs.

A lot more needs to happen than just winning out. This is the path for LSU to finish 3rd in SEC:
LSU to go 3-0 vs Texas; @ Tennessee, and @ Arkansas.
Oklahoma to win vs Ole Miss and then go 1-1 vs A&M and @ Mizzou. Kentucky to go 0-2 vs Florida and @ Mizzou.
Ole Miss to lose @ Oklahoma.

UGA and Bama to win out.

We really don't deserve to be a playoff team.
48 plays in Bama territory and only scored 13 points.
Bama total offensive plays were 50.

Embarrassing and unacceptable.

On the post above, if we win next 3, we probably dont need all of that to happen to get in.

relax bro. You’re doing too much

We don’t need sole possession of 3rd place, we just need to be the 3rd highest ranked SEC team. There’s going to be a clusterfrick tie for 3rd place in the SEC at 6-3 if we win out. I can give you a lot of reasons we’d be ranked ahead of the rest of them but given you think everyone is better than us if we tie them all it’s not worth explaining. Just trust me bro

Beating top 8 teams back to back and finishing with the same record as all them catapults us ahead of them. UK and OM best win if they finish 9-3 is us at the beginning of the year. They’d be ranked behind UT and we’d be leapfrogging UT

Do you think we win out? Do you think Georgia and Bama win out? Do you think a three loss team makes the playoffs? If the answer is yes to all three... then you think we can make the playoffs.

Did they grant mid season transfers or something? This O Line is not going to get those wins for us.

Arch manning in Death Valley.
Neyland stadium in November

And Ark.

Let’s appreciate we got two top 10 teams left to make up for Kentucky and Bama. We never were going to beat Ole Miss that night.

Let’s win out
