1. LSU is a big enough brand that they're allowed things when they are good enough. They've won titles before they're an established program.
2. At the time when we best Bama there was a good shot at the SEC getting 2 playoff teams, Sankey saw dollar signs.
3. Does a 3 loss TN get a NY6 bowl?
OM will have 2 losses and if the conference gets its way so will Mizzou. If things fall where the conference wants them UGA in the playoffs. Bama and Mizzou in the NY6 bowls, possibly the Lane train, and I forgot about them but Florida potentially only with 2 losses as well.
We are in that third tier this year Music City or Gator Bowl tier.
