CFP Scenarios (merged)

You’re making their playoff scenarios a head to head with Tennessee. For some reason you think it’s LsU or Tennessee for the playoff. This is a dumb position to have. LSU and Tennessee are two teams and the playoff has 4 spots. Not sure the mental confusion or why people are making it out as LsU or Tennessee can go to playoff but not both.

So you’re either making the case for three SEC teams or you don’t think a one loss Georgia team gets in. I find both scenarios unlikely.

I love how some think if LSU wins the SEC, Tennessee is the odd one out. It could just as easily be UGA, who would have the most recent loss. Or if UGA is a lock as some believe, then that is saying UGA is in regardless of whether they win the SEC or not. I guess there is no reason for them to play then - may as well let another team from the east play that game.

This is why the team just needs to focus on the upcoming games. This will play out on its own and we'll either be one of the four or not. Lots of games left to play.

So you can’t answer the question? Thanks for proving me right.

What are you talking about?

All the SEC champs have made it. There has never been a 2 loss champ in the playoffs, because all the champs had 1 loss max. We don't know what the committee would do with a 2 loss SEC champ,
which is my point. Everybody is acting like it is a fact LSU would get in. There is no history so it can't be a fact.

I can't 100% tell what point you are trying to make.

And you can’t answer his. A lot would have to happen for LSU to make it, including us dropping another game. Because the SEC certainly isn’t getting three teams in and UGA is likely in even if they lose in Altanta.

I’m sorry but if you are asked a direct question and your response is to ask a question in response, you’re arguing for sake of arguing.

And to say that it’s a certainty the SEC wouldn’t get 3 in the playoff as fact is silly.

LSU winning the SEC would be worst case scenario for Tennessee at 11-1 and the CFP in general because there would be valid arguments for 3 teams. But there is no world where a team debuts in the CFP at #10, ends season a 7 game win streak with wins over #1, #6, #9 and stays outside top 4. There is also no world where Tennessee loses to #3, drops to top 5, finishes 11-1 and stays out of the Top 4…..

i actually would love LSU to win the SEC because the CFP would be forced to put 3 teams in and there really isn’t an argument against it. The old Most Deserving teams vs Best teams.

TCU isn’t making the playoff regardless of their record. Take that as you may but you assumed i put LSU in over Tennessee. You made ass of yourself instead of asking and got your panties in a wad with “how you gonna put them in over a team who beat them 27 points”…..

Not sure how much I gotta say it but CFP made it crystal clear they don’t value TCU’s resumè….. turns out beating the powerhouses of West Virginia and Texas tech by 10 points isn’t a big resumè builder you all think they are to shoot TCU up the rankings.

Lol TCU is 100% in if they go undefeated. Even undefeated Cincinnati made it in last year with only 2 ranked wins. You’re delusional if you think otherwise

Long post to finally answer my question. Glad you agree the SEC champ with 11 wins or more will be in the playoff.

I’m not buying any scenario where a two-loss LSU gets in, with losses to FSU and a 27-point drubbing on their home field by us. Those two losses matter. And we destroyed them.

Especially when we would be the other team fighting for that last spot. Head to heads matter even more.

TCU doesn’t have the style points or remaining schedule strength to push them in the top 4 without teams in front of the losing. Even tonight, there is good chance Oregon and even LsU might jump them.

Over a UT team that lost on the road to the best team in the country? Ummmm no

I think it’s highly possible, yes. It’s not how I would vote on it, but as I said earlier it will all depend on how the committee views conference championships.

Guys, if TCU loses which I think they surely will on the road soon, we are essentially locked in if we win out. Bama and Clemson losing were HUGE.

A one loss USC team is more of a threat than LSU, imo. Or a one loss Clemson team.

Agree. We win out it is the other 1 loss teams that we will be compared to. Same would be true of a 1 loss UGA team. There are five major conferences, the power 5 conferences and only 4 spots. The SEC has always had a team - I think they should this year - but having a conference champ with 2 losses, which implies no undefeated team opens that pandora box.

And least we forget they ranked UGA 3RD in the first poll - so the committee was not as impressed with UGA as some of us are. If UGA jumps OSU to 1 next week, then that implies the committee believes their win over us was > what OSU has shown. If OSU goes to number 1 - well ...

Style points? What are you even talking about? What “style points” did cincy have last year?
Look I get your point, in a perfect world LSU, UGA, and Tenn all get in if LSU wins out. But you’re getting all defensive when people point out that 3 teams from the same conference is highly unlikely, acting like we’re all saying YOU are leaving Tennessee out. Most posters would agree with you that 3 SEC should get in, but the fact of the matter is that that is the most unlikely scenario with an undefeated TCU/1 loss PAC 12 champion/1 loss Clemson. So if LSU gets in the playoff, Tennessee is most likely getting left out

That is a crap statement unto itself. Alabama finished 11-0 and 11-1 and made it. They didn't have 2 losses. You asked the question to skew the conversation. So yeah when someone debates with a question that twists the discussion I am going to call that out with another question.

I just can’t see three SEC teams making it under your scenario. Those two losses (including one ass kicking at home) puts a ceiling in how high LSU can advance, imo, regardless of how strong they finish.

Tennessee will be ranked #3 after regular season going into conference championship weekend.

We will be 4th before Michigan and Ohio State play. Whoever loses drops out of top 5. We will be sitting pretty. No way we drop from top 4 regardless of conference championship weekend. Yeehaw.
